NDIS Supports and Goals

 All supports and services for NDIS participants must contribute to the achievement of their individual goals as outlined in the participant’s plan. Support purpose categories are designed to align with the Outcomes Framework and the 15 support categories (listed below). This helps participants choose supports that help them achieve their goals, and providers to understand how the supports they provide contribute to the participant’s goals.

  • Core purpose
  • Capital purpose
  • Capacity building purpose

NDIS participant budgets can be allocated to three separate types of SUPPORT PURPOSE. In other words, NDIS participants are funded for three different purposes;
