NDIS Core Supports Explained

NDIS Support budgets

There are three types of support budgets that may be funded in your NDIS plan:

• Core Supports budget

• Capacity Building Supports budget

• Capital Supports budget

This article focuses on the Core Supports budget and how it can be utilised throughout your plan period.

What are Core Supports?

Core Supports help you with everyday activities, your current disability-related needs and to work towards your goals. Your Core Supports budget is the most flexible, and in most cases, you can use your funding across any of the following four support categories. However, there are instances where you do not have flexibility in your funding, particularly for transport funding.

Assistance with daily life

Assistance with daily life is a support category in your core supports budget. It's for assistance or supervision of personal tasks during day-to-day life that enable the participant to live as independently as possible. These supports are provided individually to participants and can be provided in a range of environments, including your own home. 

Sistability provides domestic cleaning and in-home laundry services as a registered NDIS provider. These supports fall under ‘Assistance with Daily Life’ in your Core Supports budget, as outlined in the table above.
