Support budgets in your plan
Types of Supports
Core Supports help you with everyday activities, your current disability-related needs and to work towards your goals. Your Core Supports budget is the most flexible, and in most cases, you can use your funding across any of the following four support categories. However, there are instances where you do not have flexibility in your funding, particularly for transport funding.
Capacity Building Supports help build your independence and skills to help you reach your long-term goals. Unlike your Core Supports budget, your Capacity Building Supports budget cannot be moved from one support category to another. Funding can only be used to purchase approved individual supports that fall within that Capacity Building category.
The Capital Supports budget has two support categories: Assistive Technology and Home modifications. Capital Supports include higher-cost assitive technology, equipment, home/vehicle modifications, and funding for one-off purchases. It is important to remember that funds within the Capital Supports budget can only be used for their specific purpose and cannot be used to pay for anything else.
