Your consumables budget falls under ‘Core Supports’. It’s the one budget area that is both the most flexible and the most challenging to manage effectively. It’s also the area that causes the most confusion.

There are the obvious  benefits to self-managing an NDIS plan, such as flexibility, choice and control over the plan. What comes with that, however, is also the time and responsibility.

Conducting an interview with a potential support work can be especially daunting if it’s your first time; however, they’re rarely easy, even for someone who’s been through the process before. 

If you aren’t satisfied with a decision regarding your NDIS claim, or feel like you’ve missed out on something in your plan, it’s important to know that you have options.
