What is a defining feature of the NDIS plan?

• A. Each participant has an individualised plan ensuring only necessary funds are spent.
• B. The NDIS provides universal funding for all services.
• C. The NDIS funds only hospital care.
• D. The NDIS is funded by private insurance.

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that an NDIS plan is individualized and outcome-focused, with funding tailored to the person’s goals and needs. Each participant works with the NDIS to create a plan that outlines the supports that are reasonable and necessary to help them participate in daily life and move toward their goals. This means the funding covers a broad range of supports beyond just hospital services and is designed specifically for the person, not as a universal package. The plan is funded by government sources, not private insurance, and it’s built around what the individual needs to achieve greater independence and participation.
