What is Core Funding in your NDIS Plan?

Core funding is designed to support your everyday needs so you can live as independently as possible.

It’s the most flexible part of your plan and can be used across four main areas:
1. Assistance with Daily Life
Help with personal care, meal prep, cleaning, or support workers in the home and community.
2. Transport
Funding for travel so you can get to work, school, appointments or social activities.
3. Consumables
Everyday items like continence products, low-cost assistive tech, or therapeutic supports.
4. Assistance with Social & Community Participation
Funding to help you get involved in hobbies, social groups, camps or programs with support.

Core funding can be flexible – but it’s important to know what it can and can’t be used for.

Need help understanding how to use your funding wisely?
I offer one-on-one NDIS support sessions to help you make the most of your plan.

Send me a message to book your session today. PM or CALL 0467 736 356 Leonard& Co Health Care and Disability Support Services

New NDIS Funding Periods Starting 19 May 2025: Key Facts

What’s Changing?

- From 19 May 2025, all new and reassessed NDIS plans will include funding periods. This means your total plan budget will be split into smaller portions, released at set intervals, rather than giving you access to the entire amount upfront.
- For most participants, funding will be released in 3-month periods. For Home and Living supports, it may be released monthly.
- Existing plans are not affected until you have a plan reassessment or review. If your plan is simply extended (rolled over), these changes won’t apply until your next review.

How Do Funding Periods Work?
- You can only spend the funds allocated for the current funding period. For example, if you have a 2-year plan, you might only be able to access 3 months’ worth of funding at a time.
- Unspent funds from a period will generally roll over to the next period within the same plan.
- This staged release is designed to help with budget management and prevent running out of funds early.

Why the Change?

- The new structure aims to provide more transparency, encourage regular plan reviews, and ensure funding is used consistently over the plan’s duration.
- It also allows for more timely interventions if there are issues with spending or support delivery.

Other Important Updates

- Plans will show a total budget amount (not individual line items), making it clearer how much funding you have and how long it needs to last.
- The NDIS will only add extra funding in specific situations, like emergencies.
- All new participants from January 2025 will receive an impairment notice, which will link directly to funding decisions.

What Should You Do?

- Be aware of your funding period dates and budget accordingly.
- Attend NDIA information sessions if you need more guidance.
- If you have a review or new plan after 19 May 2025, check how your funds are split and plan your supports to match the new release schedule.

For more details, check the NDIA or Department of Social Services websites, or contact your NDIS planner.
