How Do I Know If My NDIS Plan Is Funded Correctly?
It’s one of the most common questions I hear — and it’s a really important one.
The short answer? You’ll know your plan is funded correctly when it actually meets your needs and goals.
Here’s what that means in practice
1. Your supports match your goals.
Every goal in your plan should have a clear pathway to achieving it — through the right therapies, supports, and capacity-building items. If your goals look great on paper but you can’t fund what you need, the plan isn’t working.
2. You’re not constantly “making do.”
If you’re always having to cut sessions short, share supports, or pay out of pocket, it’s a sign the plan doesn’t reflect your real-world needs.
3. The plan includes the right mix of supports.
A well-funded plan usually has Core, Capacity Building, and Capital supports that balance daily living, skill development, and longer-term outcomes.
4. There’s evidence behind the funding.
Funding decisions are based on evidence — reports from social workers, therapists, and other professionals. The better your evidence, the stronger your plan.
5. You feel confident, not confused.
If you don’t understand your plan or aren’t sure how to use it, that’s a red flag. A good plan should be clear, usable, and empowering.
If your plan doesn’t fit your life, it’s not funded correctly.
You can fix that by gathering the necessary evidence, setting clear goals, and working with an NDIS Specialist Support Coordinator/Social Worker who understands both you and the system.
If you’d like help reviewing your NDIS plan, I can help you find out exactly where your funding sits — and how to get it working for you.
