An NDIS plan is more than just a document; it’s your roadmap for achieving the life you want. It provides you with the funding and support you need to achieve your goals, develop your skills, and engage with your community. But let’s be honest: reading through your plan can sometimes feel like decoding a foreign language. There are funding “buckets,” line item codes, budgets split into categories, and terms that might leave you scratching your head. The good news is that once you understand the basics, it becomes much clearer and you’ll feel far more confident about making the most of your plan. In this guide, we’ll explain what’s inside an NDIS plan, how the funding buckets work, and what those line items mean.
Learn why NDIS providers might not get paid, how plan managers process invoices, and steps providers and participants should take to avoid delays and resolve issues.
Major NDIS changes in 2025–2026 affect funding, pricing, and services. Learn how participants and providers will be impacted and how to have your say.
Learn how to choose the right NDIS support line codes, avoid invoice rejections, and comply with the 2025 NDIS updates. Tips for providers and participants.
NDIS support workers help with personal care, community access, daily tasks, and skill-building. Learn what they do, how to hire one, and what makes a great support worker under your plan.
Not sure which assessments the NDIS will pay for? Learn the difference between funded functional capacity assessments and unfunded diagnostic tests like ASD or IQ reports. This guide helps you avoid confusion and plan with confidence.
From June 2025, new and reassessed NDIS plans will reflect key PACE changes, including funding components and release periods. Learn how these updates impact participants, providers, and plan managers — and how to stay ahead.
