New year, fresh focus: how to maximise your NDIS plan in 2023

Forget New Year’s resolutions, January is a great time to revisit your National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan budgets to better understand what they can fund and how you can get more bang for your NDIS buck.

By understanding what you can purchase from each budget, you may be surprised by how you can spend and how doing that wisely can help you to grow your capacity and achieve better outcomes.

In this article we explain what each NDIS plan budget covers and how to maximise your funding in 2023.

Once you’ve read this, we recommend looking at Make your money work for you: NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits to truly uncap your NDIS plan’s potential and invest in supports that are geared towards what you want and need.

There are three types of budgets that may appear in your NDIS plan:

• Core Supports
• Capacity Building Supports
• Capital Supports

Your National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) planner or local area coordinator will work with you to develop an NDIS plan that includes funding designed to support you in your day-to-day life, and to achieve your NDIS goals.
