The NDIS process begins with the creation of a personalized plan tailored to the participant’s needs and goals. This plan is developed in collaboration with a Local Area Coordinator (LAC) or an NDIS planner and outlines the types of supports and services required. Funding provided by the NDIS is allocated based on the approved plan and can be managed in three ways:
- Self-Managed: The participant manages the funding and organizes the supports themselves.
- Plan-Managed: A Plan Manager assists in overseeing the funding and administrative responsibilities.
- NDIA-Managed: The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) manages the participant’s funding and pays providers directly.
The NDIS funds a variety of supports that fall into three primary categories:
- Core Supports: Assistance with daily living activities, transportation, and community engagement.
- Capacity Building Supports: Services designed to help participants develop new skills, improve independence, and achieve their goals.
- Capital Supports: Funding for higher-cost items, such as assistive technology and home modifications.
