My Profile section

  • Your Plan NDIS Number
  • Your NDIS contact info
  • Plan Start & End Date
  • My Profile
  • Date of Birth
  • Contact details
  • Information about you

My Goals section

  • Short term goals
  • Medium term goals
  • Long term goals

My Total Funded Supports Section

Your funded supports outline how much funding you have and what budget categories have been approved (in other words - what kinds of supports you can access).

This section is a table and includes:

  • Overall Budget
  • Budget PER category (i.e. Core, Capital and Capacity)
  • Types of supports under each category
  • How your plan is managed


See example below of sample plan - 'Total Funded Supports section'

How to read your funded supports:

Each support category will display the same information including:
  • Budget Category Name -i.e. Core Supports, Transport, Assistive technology, CB Daily Living etc.
  • Budget amount = total amount funded for that specific category
  • Supports funded = what supports are included and can be funded from this category
  • Budget management = how the funding in that specific category is managed
 
See example below of the budget category section below:
