Capacity Building Supports are one of the three major funding categories in your NDIS plan. They are designed to invest in your long-term independence and development. Supporting you today and long into the future! Capacity Building is about growth. Unlike day-to-day support funding, Capacity Building is goal-oriented.
That means the NDIS will only include these supports in your plan if they directly relate to the goals you’ve outlined during your planning meeting. Whether that’s building relationships, finding and keeping a job, improving your health, continuing your education, or managing your own support services, each goal has a long-term outcome in mind.
At Achora, we believe that every person should have the equal opportunity to grow, connect, and thrive.
