How do I read my NDIS plan?
Your NDIS plan is made up of 3 main sections:
- My Profile
- My Goals
- Total Funded Supports
My Profile section
The front page and your profile contact basic details about you and your plan including:
- Your Plan NDIS Number
- Your NDIS contact info
- Plan Start & End Date
- My Profile
- Date of Birth
- Contact details
- Information about you
- Current informal and formal supports
See example below of sample plan - 'My Profile section'

My Goals section
These were discussed and decided in your NDIS planning meeting and helped to determine what supports and level of funding you have been given:
- Short term goals
- Medium term goals
- Long term goals
See example below of sample plan - 'My Goals section'

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:
