The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers a range of supports to help participants live independently and achieve their goals. Understanding the different types of NDIS supports available is essential to making the most of your plan.
At ADACSS, we help individuals access the right support services tailored to their needs. In this guide, we’ll explore the key categories of NDIS supports and how they can benefit you.
What is NDIS Support?
The NDIS funds support services that help people with disabilities live independently and participate in the community.
Each participant receives a customized NDIS plan, outlining the types of supports they can access. These supports are divided into three main categories: Core, Capacity Building, and Capital.
Understanding these categories helps participants maximize their NDIS funding.
Three Main Categories of NDIS Supports
NDIS supports are grouped into three broad categories:
- Core Supports: Daily assistance and essential services.
- Capacity Building Supports: Skill development and personal growth.
- Capital Supports: Equipment and home modifications.
Each category plays a crucial role in improving a participant’s quality of life.
Core Supports: Essential Everyday Assistance
Core Supports help participants with everyday activities. These services provide the basic assistance needed for daily living.
Key Areas of Core Supports:
