How to Get the Most Out of Your NDIS Plan
1. Understand Your NDIS Plan
Start by thoroughly reviewing your NDIS plan. Understand the three main funding categories:
Core Supports: For daily living and community access.
Capital Supports: For equipment, home modifications, or assistive technology.
Capacity Building Supports: For skills development, therapies, and achieving personal goals.
Pro Tip: Keep a copy of your plan handy and regularly revisit it to ensure you’re staying aligned with your goals.
2. Plan Ahead
Set Priorities: Identify the most important areas where you need support (e.g., personal care, social activities, mobility).
Track Spending: Use a budget tracker to monitor how much you’ve spent and how much is left in each category.
Be Flexible: If your needs change, remember you can request a plan review.
3. Engage the Right Providers
Choosing the right service providers is crucial. Look for NDIS-registered providers who:
Align with your goals.
Offer transparent pricing.
Provide high-quality, personalised services.

Ask questions.
Share feedback about your providers.
Request adjustments if you feel your plan isn’t meeting your needs.
5. Be Proactive About Plan Reviews
If your circumstances or needs change, you can request a plan review.
Prepare evidence (e.g., reports from therapists or doctors).
Clearly explain why adjustments are necessary.
