Capacity Building Support as Registered NDIS Provider

April 28, 2021by ZEDCARE

Capacity Building Supports are provided by registered NDIS providers to help build skills and independence in your daily life, and to help you pursue your goals. The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) will assess your needs, and your short and long-term goals during a planning meeting to help identify which Capacity Building Supports might need to be funded. It’s important to know, that you will not necessarily be funded for all the Capacity Building Supports categories.

Capacity Building Support Categories

There are nine Capacity Building Supports categories:

  • Support Coordination

It is a fixed amount of funding that can be used to engage a Support Coordinator who can help you to connect with, and implement your plan.

  • Improved Living Arrangements

It helps you to find and maintain appropriate accommodation for your needs.

  • Community Participation

It helps you with the development and training of life skills to encourage your participation in your community, and with social and recreational activities.

  • Finding and Keeping a Job

It helps you to find and maintain employment. This funding can be used for employment related support, training and assessments.

  • Improved Relationships

It helps you to develop positive behavioural strategies to better your interactions with people in your life and community.

  • Improved Health and Wellbeing

It helps you to manage the impact of your disability through exercise and diet advice. It’s important to know, that gym memberships are not included in your funding.

  • Improved Learning

It provides training and advice to help you move from school into higher education, like university or TAFE.

  • Improved Choices

It helps you to manage your plan funding with the help of a Plan Manager, like ZedCare.

  • Improved Daily Living:

It helps to build your capacity to engage within your community or to be more independent at home by providing assessment, training or therapy to help increase your skills.

Unlike with Core Supports, Capacity Building Supports are not flexible. For example, if you have funding for ‘Improved Learning’, you cannot use your allocated funding from that specific category towards funding another category, like ‘Improved Daily Living’.

Our sole focus at ZedCare, as dedicated NDIS Plan Managers, is to ensure you maintain choice and control over your NDIS plan, without having to deal with the financial and administrative tasks of managing a plan yourself.

As your Plan Managers, we will:

  • Manage your spending, claims and paperwork;
  • Process and pay your invoices (on time, every time);
  • Help you understand your funding and supports;
  • Give you full choice and control over your NDIS plan and the supports you engage;
  • Answer any questions you have about your plan; and
  • Deliver monthly budget reports.

If you or someone in your network is looking for a truly independent and professional Plan Manager, you can speak with our ZedCare team.
