NDIS Panania NSW

The national disability insurance scheme (NDIS) is a lifeline for many people. It is a game changer for those living with disabilities or permanent physical impairments. It not only assists in day-to-day activities but has a very holistic and long-term approach.

NDIS services are unique and are tailored to meet the needs and medical requirements of each participant. It covers a wide range of support categories and navigating through all the technical terms and jargon can be overwhelming for someone who is just starting their NDIS journey.

Whether you’re new to the NDIS Panania or have been receiving support for a while, it’s helpful to understand the different NDIS support categories.

3 NDIS funding categories

Each NDIS support budget category relates to the goals you might like to achieve. The three NDIS funding categories that may be covered in your plan are:

  • Core supports: include help with everyday activities, for example, household cleaning or transport.
  • Capital supports: this is where you may have a budget for one-off, high-cost purchases, such as a wheelchair, or installing a handrail in your bathroom.
  • Capital building supports: include funds for programs that improve your skills, such as finding study, a job you enjoy, or an eating plan that works.

In this article, we have broken down the different types of funded support Circle of Hope offers, so you can make the most out of your NDIS Plan with us.

Core support category

NDIS Core supports provide funding for things that help with everyday activities. They can be used to purchase physical items or assistance for activities you undertake in daily life. Under NDIS Panania core supports we have the expertise to assist you with your daily activities, as well as your current disability-related needs.

Types of core supports
  1. Assistance with daily living: This includes support for common activities, such as cleaning, cooking, or dressing in the morning, and short-term accommodation (respite).
  2. Consumables: includes funds for buying items that help you be more independent or comfortable, for example, compression stockings, or equipment to help with your mobility.
  3. Transport: This includes transportation-based supports and services such as specialized transportation to school or work, and also access to community events and other recreational activities.
  4. Assistance with social and community participation: Our experienced support workers can assist or accompany you to attend appointments, go to the shops, and take part in community, social, cultural, and civic activities.

Capital support category

Capital Support covers higher-priced assistive technology, equipment, and home modifications or vehicle modifications. The amount of support available depends on the needs of the participant and is restricted to specific items identified in your NDIS Panania Plan. This is the least flexible NDIS budget category.

Types of capital supports
  1. Assistive technology: This covers the costs of assistive technologies that help you to become more independent and do things you may otherwise not be able to do because of your disability. Assistive technology can include a wide range of technologies such as hearing aids, wheelchairs, or vehicle modifications.
  2. Home improvements: This NDIS support category helps to cover the costs of making your home more livable and accessible, such as installing stair climbers, wheelchair ramps, and guard rails. Also caters to bathroom or kitchen modifications to support independent living.

Capacity building support category
