Can I move money between Core and Capacity Building?

No — Core and Capacity Building are separate budget categories. However, within Core, you can often move money between sub-categories (except stated transport).

What happens if I underspend my plan?

Unused funds don't roll over. They return to the NDIS at the end of your plan period. This is why tracking spending is important.

Can my plan be changed mid-period?

Yes — you can request a plan reassessment if your circumstances change significantly. Your plan manager or support coordinator can help with this.

The Anatomy of an NDIS Plan

Every NDIS plan has three key components:

Your statement of participant supports — the detailed breakdown of your funded supports
Your goals — what you want to achieve during your plan period
Your funded supports — the dollar amounts allocated across your budget categories

Understanding each part gives you confidence to use your plan effectively and avoid underspending or overspending in any area.
