My funded supports
Your funded supports outline how much funding you have and what budget categories have been approved (in other words, what kinds of supports you can access). This section is usually a table and includes:
- Overall budget
- Budget per category (for example, Core, Capital and Capacity Building)
- Types of supports under each category
- How your plan is managed
Plan Example
How do you read your funded supports?
Each support category will display the same information, including:
- Budget category name (for example Core Supports, Transport, Assistive Technology, Capacity Building Daily Living)
- Budget amount (the total amount funded for that category)
- Supports funded (what supports can be paid for from that category)
- Budget management (how the funding in that category is managed)
See the examples of the budget category below. For more information on how your funds are managed, read How is my plan managed.
