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.
