Which statement about NDIS equity best describes how support is determined?

• A. Funding is allocated solely by geographic region.
• B. The NDIS plan is the same for every participant.
• C. The individualised plan developed as a part of the NDIS ensures that those with more significant needs receive more assistance.
• D. Participants pay more if they require the NDIS.

Answer: (C)

Equity here means giving people the level of support that matches their individual needs. The statement that best describes this is that an individualized plan is developed as part of the NDIS, and those with more significant needs receive more assistance. This reflects fairness in action: funding and supports are tailored to what each person actually requires, rather than everyone getting the same package or funding being dictated by location.

The other ideas don’t fit equity well: funding isn’t determined solely by where someone lives, plans aren’t identical for everyone, and you don’t pay more under the NDIS just because you need more supports—the system aims to provide the necessary supports through a personal plan rather than charging higher amounts based on need.
