The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is constantly evolving to better meet the needs of participants, and one of the recent changes is the implementation of new funding periods. These changes are designed to improve the flexibility and sustainability of participant budgets, but they can also create some confusion — especially if you’re managing your plan independently.

At Enabled Care, our mission is to simplify the NDIS journey for you. As experienced Plan Managers, we’re here to break down what these changes mean and how we can help you make the most of your funding with confidence and clarity.

What Are the New NDIS Funding Periods?

The NDIS has recently updated how funding is allocated and managed. Rather than aligning funding strictly with a 12-month plan, participants may now receive funding in shorter or more flexible time frames depending on their individual circumstances. These changes aim to:

• Allow for greater flexibility in how and when funding is used
• Encourage more responsive budgeting for evolving support needs
• Improve the ability to track and manage spending throughout the plan

For example, some plans might now include quarterly funding reviews or staggered release of funds to ensure better oversight and value for money.

While these adjustments can lead to more personalised and efficient use of your NDIS funds, they also require closer monitoring to avoid overspending or underspending throughout the plan period.

How Enabled Care Can Help You Thrive Under the New System

At Enabled Care, we understand that keeping track of your NDIS budget under these new arrangements might feel overwhelming — but that’s exactly where we step in.

Here’s how we support you:

✅ Real-Time Budget Tracking

We provide clear, easy-to-understand tracking of your NDIS funding, so you always know how much has been spent, what’s remaining, and when your next funding release is expected.

✅ Timely Alerts and Spending Insights

With new funding periods, staying on top of your spending habits is crucial. We’ll send you regular updates and alert you to any risk of over- or underspending — helping you make the most of your funding without surprises.

✅ Invoice Processing and Provider Liaison

Let us handle the admin. We process invoices quickly and accurately, and communicate directly with your providers to ensure timely payments — all in line with your new funding timelines.

✅ Plan Review Preparation

When your funding periods are shorter or more flexible, plan reviews may happen more frequently. We’ll provide clear financial reports and summaries to support you through these reviews with confidence.
