3 Personal and Environmental Circumstances -

capacity building information

The capacity building support questions help identify what supports a participant may need in their plan.

Understand capacity building supports

What is functional capacity?

Functional capacity is the ability to carry out tasks in a variety of everyday situations.

When we look to build a person’s capacity, we focus on how they can pursue their goals and develop their skills, such as: ● self-care ● communication ● household contribution ● community involvement

Why are capacity building supports important?

Capacity building supports help a participant build their skills and maximise independence and participation. This helps them to pursue their goals and may reduce their dependence on the NDIS over time.

We consider funding capacity building supports to be an early investment. This is one of the NDIS principles.

Learn more in Our Guidelines - What principles do we follow to create your plan?

A participant can also get funding for capacity building supports from: ● another government scheme, such as a motor vehicle or a workers compensation scheme ● compensation or lump sum payment from a judgement or settlement for their disability or impairment.

Record capacity building information

Ask the person the Capacity Building questions in the Personal and Environmental Circumstances case and record their answer.

Note: Don’t read the response options to the person out loud. Listen carefully to their answers. You may need to select the most appropriate response for each question.

Use your interpersonal skills in a guided conversation to seek answers to each question.

Explain to the person we need the right information before we make an eligibility decision.

You must record a response for each mandatory field marked with an asterisk. Then select Next to continue.

Note: The PEC case Steps and questions are dynamic and may change. This will depend on the person’s situation and age, as well as the response options selected for some questions.
