The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supports Australians living with disability by providing funding for essential services and helping individuals live more independently.
If you’re based in Adelaide and starting your NDIS journey, understanding your plan is the first step toward making the most of your support.
What is an NDIS Plan?
An NDIS plan is a personalised support plan created specifically for you. It outlines your goals, the supports you need, and the funding allocated to help you achieve them.
Each plan is unique and designed around your lifestyle, needs, and future aspirations.
Key Components of an NDIS Plan

Your goals guide your NDIS journey. These may include:
- Becoming more independent

3. Funded Supports
NDIS funding is divided into three categories:
- Core Supports: daily assistance such as personal care, transport, and household tasks
