Capacity Building

Capacity Building Supports are designed to help build skills and independence in your daily life, and to help you pursue your goals.

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) will assess your needs, and your short and long-term goals during a planning meeting to help identify which Capacity Building Supports might need to be funded. It’s important to know that you will not necessarily be funded for all the Capacity Building Supports categories.

Capacity Building Support Categories that we provide:

Helps you to find and maintain appropriate accommodation for your needs.

Increased Social and Community Participation (or ‘CB Social Community and Civic Participation’)
Helps you with the development and training of life skills to encourage your participation in your community, and with social and recreational activities.

Improved Health and Wellbeing (or ‘CB Health and Wellbeing’)
Helps you to manage the impact of your disability through exercise and diet advice. It’s important to know that gym memberships are not included in your funding.

Improved Daily Living (or CB Daily Activity)
