Which statement about funding contributions for the NDIS is true?

• A. The NDIS plan allocates funds purely based on geographic location.
• B. Those who require the NDIS do not have to pay more towards funding it than those who don't.
• C. All participants pay the same fixed amount irrespective of need.
• D. Funding comes solely from private donations.

Answer: (B)

Funding for the NDIS comes from government revenue pooled across all Australians, not from a direct charge on people with disability. This means those who require the NDIS do not pay more towards funding it than those who don’t; contributions come through general taxation and related levies, spreading costs across the population. The scheme then uses that shared pool to fund the individual supports shown in each plan, rather than charging a fixed amount to every participant or relying only on private donations. So the funding model is broad and equity-focused, not based on geography, a flat per-person fee, or private donations alone.
