A major change to the way NDIS Plans are funded has arrived. From 19 May, all new and reassessments NDIS Plans will include funding periods.

This means the funds in your NDIS Plan will no longer be released all at once. Instead, plan funds will be made available in smaller amounts at set times throughout the plan period.

Here’s what we know so far.

What are funding periods?

Funding periods are a new way the NDIS releases plan budgets over time. Instead of receiving your full plan funding upfront, you’ll get access to smaller amounts in stages.

A funding period is a set timeframe during which a portion of your NDIS funding can be used

Most new plans will have three-month funding periods

You can only spend money released in the current or previous funding period

Different funding periods may be introduced in future

Funding periods will initially apply to new or reassessed plans.

Please contact us if you have any questions about this or any other NDIS matter. We are a local provider owned by someone with a disability.

We now have 646,000 people receiving NDIS support from the including 151,000 children under 9. We have 138,000 participants in Queensland and 8,000 in Toowoomba. Half of these are under 18.

We consider ourselves to be one of Toowoomba’s best NDIS providers and disability experts because of our unique history of lived experience and disability sector work. Our team is highly experienced, honest, respectful, reliable, patient, caring, encouraging and positive. Our team does not wear uniforms or drive cars which advertise us or the NDIS. When we go out with people, we want them to feel comfortable and relaxed like they are going out with friends or family. Employees in uniforms often make people feel self-conscious and embarrassed about their disability.
