Recent changes to NDIS health supports funding have introduced new challenges for both participants and providers. With some services now moved to the Capacity Building budget, it’s crucial for individuals to reassess their NDIS plans, while providers must adjust their support strategies. Here’s how to stay ahead of these changes and ensure uninterrupted, effective care.
1. Understand the Changes to NDIS Health Supports
Under the latest NDIS funding update, vital supports such as wound management and catheter care have transitioned from the Core Supports budget to the Capacity Building category.
This reallocation is designed to streamline how health services are managed, but it does require:
- Participants to review their NDIS plan thoroughly
- Providers to explain the changes clearly and help clients adapt smoothly
By understanding this funding restructure, participants can maintain continuity of care, and NDIS providers can enhance service delivery by supporting informed decision-making.
2. Review and Rebalance Your NDIS Plan and Budget
To remain fully supported, participants must reassess their NDIS plans with a focus on Capacity Building funding. This budget now covers a broader range of services, including:
- Therapy and mental health support
- Personal care
- Mobility and independence-focused training
Support coordinators and NDIS plan managers are key to navigating these adjustments. Providers like Moonlight Care can assist by offering tailored advice and helping reallocate resources, ensuring participants receive essential services without disruption.
3. Discover Additional NDIS Funding Opportunities
Despite shifts in funding categories, there are still multiple avenues for accessing support under the NDIS. Beyond the Capacity Building budget, participants may explore:
- Assistive Technology funding
- Improved Daily Living
- Increased Social and Community Participation
By understanding the full scope of NDIS funding options, participants can optimise their support packages. Knowledgeable providers help clients navigate these options confidently, ensuring they receive maximum benefit from their plan.
4. Work with Informed and Reliable NDIS Providers
Choosing an experienced and NDIS-registered provider is essential for adapting to funding updates. These providers offer:
- Expert guidance on plan adjustments
- Clarity on eligibility and service changes
- Support in managing transitions without service gaps
At Moonlight Care, our team undergoes regular training to stay up to date with NDIS policy changes. This ensures our clients receive the most accurate, timely support available.
5. Stay Proactive and Informed
The NDIS environment is constantly evolving, and staying ahead of updates is vital. Participants should:
- Schedule regular reviews with their support coordinator or plan manager
- Stay informed on NDIS announcements and funding shifts
Providers, in turn, should participate in NDIS training sessions and engage with policy updates. This knowledge-sharing builds trust, fosters stronger partnerships, and ensures participants always receive compliant and effective support.
