Funding periods define how often a participant can access a portion of their funding and how long it needs to last.

Funding periods help participants understand and manage their budget effectively, ensuring funds are available for the full length of the plan.
These changes and safeguards will allow NDIS plans to be longer.

For participants:

• You’ll have clearer insight into your budget and when to use specific funds.
• It can help manage your budget so you don’t run out of funds early.
• Any unspent funds will be added to the next funding period within the same plan.
