The Underspending Problem
Research shows that many NDIS participants don't use all their allocated funding. Common reasons include:
- Not knowing what they can spend on
- Difficulty finding available providers
- Waiting too long to start services
- Not understanding the flexibility in Core Supports
- Fear of "using too much" (you won't be penalised for using your full plan!)
Underspending doesn't just waste your current funding — it can also signal to the NDIA that you need less in your next plan.
