Core, Capacity Building and Mainstream Interface Supports

Core Supports

• Core funding can be used flexibly between Consumables, Daily Activities and Social Community and Civic participation categories.
• Funds can only be used to purchase reasonable and necessary supports in line with the participant’s goals. This is regardless of whether the funding is Agency, self or plan managed.

Capacity Building (CB) supports:

Capacity Building supports assist participants to increase their ability to live their life independently and achieve their goals.

Mainstream Interface Supports:

Mainstream supports are provided by other government services, including those provided as part of a universal service obligation. Mainstream supports are available to everyone regardless of whether or not they have a disability. They include state, territory and Commonwealth Government services across 11 categories.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (Supports for Participants) Rules 2013 outlines considerations relating to whether supports are most appropriately funded through the NDIS. Under the law for the NDIS, we can’t fund supports that should be provided by a mainstream service.
