Disclaimer
The NDIS Funding Guide and related resources are created to provide general educational information.
They are designed to help NDIS participants, carers, family members, nominees and supporters understand common plan wording, ask clearer questions, and check important details before spending, booking, approving invoices or agreeing to supports.
General educational information only
The information on this website and in our downloadable resources is general in nature.
It does not take into account your individual plan, goals, disability support needs, evidence, management type, funding periods, provider arrangements, or personal circumstances.
You should not rely on this website or any downloadable resource as the only basis for making a decision about your NDIS funding, supports, services, purchases, invoices, agreements, or plan changes.
Not official NDIA advice
The NDIS Funding Guide is independent.
It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, approved by, or produced by the NDIA or the NDIS.
NDIS rules, guidance, systems and processes can change over time. We aim to keep resources practical and useful, but we cannot guarantee that every piece of information will always reflect the most current position or apply to every situation.
For official information, check the NDIA website or contact the NDIA directly.
Not legal, clinical or individual advice
The NDIS Funding Guide does not provide:
- Legal advice
- Clinical advice
- Financial advice
- Plan-specific advice
- Individual funding advice
- A professional assessment of your support needs
The resources may help you understand what to check and what questions to ask, but they do not replace advice from the NDIA, your LAC, plan manager, support coordinator, therapist, doctor, lawyer, accountant, or another relevant professional.
No therapy relationship
Downloading, buying, reading, using, or contacting us about the NDIS Funding Guide or related resources does not create a therapy relationship with Strive to Thrive Therapy.
The resources are educational digital resources only.
If you need therapy services, assessment, clinical advice, or individual recommendations, you should contact a suitable provider directly.
No funding guarantees
The NDIS Funding Guide does not guarantee that:
- A support will be funded
- A support will be approved
- A request to change your plan will be accepted
- A provider invoice will be payable
- A product or service will be suitable for your situation
- The NDIA, a plan manager, or another person will agree with your interpretation of your plan
Every plan is different.
Your plan wording, goals, funding periods, management type, evidence, support needs, provider arrangements and current NDIA guidance can all affect what applies in your situation.
Examples are not guarantees
Any examples used on this website or in downloadable resources are included to explain common situations and practical decision logic.
They are not promises that the same answer will apply to you.
A similar support, cost or situation can lead to a different answer depending on the person, plan wording, evidence, timing, management type and other details.
Confirm in writing if unsure
If something is unclear, the safer next step is usually to confirm it in writing before you rely on it.
Depending on the question, this may involve your:
Other relevant professional
- Plan manager
- Support coordinator
- LAC
- Provider
- Therapist
- NDIA contact
Use of resources
You are responsible for how you use the information and resources.
We are not responsible for loss, delay, funding issues, declined claims, service issues, provider disputes, or other outcomes that may arise from relying on general information without checking your own situation.
