Understanding Your NDIS Funding for Personal Care

Core Supports Budget (Most Flexible)
Primary funding source for personal care services
Core Supports address your immediate support needs and daily living requirements including personal care and assistance with daily activities. This budget covers:
- Assistance with Daily Life – Personal care, bathing, dressing, meal preparation
- Consumables – Disability-related items like continence products, wound care supplies, mobility aid accessories with annual limits up to $15,000 for most participants
- Transport – Travel to appointments, work, community activities
- Social & Community Participation – Support workers to help you engage in community activities
Flexibility: You can transfer funds between categories within Core Supports (categories 1-4), giving you control over how you use your personal care funding.

Capacity Building Supports (Skill Development)
Building your independence in personal care
Capacity Building Supports help build your independence and skills to help you pursue your goals. Unlike your Core Supports budget, your Capacity Building Supports budget cannot be moved from one support category to another.
Relevant categories for personal care:
- Improved Daily Living – Learning personal care techniques, using assistive technology
- Improved Health & Wellbeing – Nutrition advice, exercise programs related to your disability
- Support Coordination – Help navigating services and coordinating your care team
