NDIS Funding categories
Core Support
The budget for NDIS core supports is the most flexible. This means that you are allowed to use your funding to receive support in one category and if your circumstances change, then you can shift your funding to another support category. You are also allowed to reduce or increase the amount of support you receive if your situation changes.
Core supports include:
-
- Consumables
These are divided into eight categories and include continence aids (e.g. disposable pads and pants), wound care products, nutritional products, products to protect your bed and chairs and equipment to help you with your mobility.
For example : support to buy everyday items like continence aids.
- Consumables
-
- Assistance with your daily life
Having someone to help you around the house or with your personal care, taking part in physiotherapy, speech or occupational therapy sessions or having someone to help you if you are out in the community, at work or at an educational facility.
For example : support to access personal and domestic care and help with household tasks.
- Assistance with your daily life
-
- Assistance to participate in activities
This may involve providing a support person to help you to take part in social and community activities or in an educational facility (e.g. in a university or TAFE)
