How Does NDIS Funding Work?

NDIS participant budgets can be allocated to three separate types of support purpose

1) Core

Supports that enable participants to complete activities of daily living. Participant budgets often have a lot of flexibility to choose specific supports with their core support budgets, but cannot reallocate this funding for other support purposes (i.e. capital or capacity building supports).

 

2) Capital

An investment, such as assistive technologies – equipment, home or vehicle modifications, or for Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). Participant budgets for this support purpose are restricted to specific items identified in the participant’s plan. The NDIS publishes separate price guides for Assistive Technology and Specialist Disability Accommodation.

3 ) Capacity Building

A support that enables a participant to build their independence and skills. Participant budgets are allocated at a support category level (see next section) and must be used to achieve the goals set out in the participant’s plan.

My experience so far with The Disability Company has been good and stress free. My Son has been receiving support from them for over 1 year and there have only been a couple of days when we have received a support worker that I was not happy with as they were not suitable for my Son. As soon as I communicated with the Admin staff about my thoughts of these support workers, they quickly resolved the issue. I feel we have been well looked after by The Disability Company

The Disability Company are there for the right reasons, to make a difference to everyday people. Dylan, Sariah, Bek and Cassie do a fantastic job behind the scenes, as parents we do not always know what goes into organising the care for our children. Our carers are amazing. It just goes to show that if you work as a team together it can be very rewarding for everyone.

Our support worker was recommended to us via Bek after she moved into the office role. Bek’s knowledge and care of my Son and our family shows in her suggestion of our new support worker. Our new support worker is fantastic with our Son; He loves his Saturdays. It’s fantastic for us to see him happy and know he is cared for when away from us. Thank you.

Over the last 2 years that I have used this service provider, they have shown me that they are very reliable and give me peace of mind knowing they won’t let me down.

On the whole I have been very impressed with both the management and support workers from The Disability Co. We have three support workers and they are very enthusiastic, friendly and capable. My Son looks forward to their company in the afternoons and it gives him the opportunity to engage in a wider range of activities when we are not home to support him. The management is very efficient and professional but also understanding and friendly. Thank you.

Myself and my family are very pleased with the service of The Disability Company. The carers that work with my Son are doing a good service and he really enjoys their company. We cannot fault this service. Thanks a lot.
