CB HEALTH AND WELLBEING (also called IMPROVED HEALTH AND WELLBEING): For maintaining or increasing physical mobility or well-being through personal training or exercise physiology. Physical well-being activities promote and encourage improved physical capacity and health. Usually associated with the Outcome Domain: Health and Wellbeing. In the MyPlace portal and your NDIS Plan it will be shown as 'CB Health and Wellbeing'.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) places a high value on developing a participant's independence and overall quality of life. At the heart of this philosophy lies Capacity Building—the category of supports specifically designed to help participants acquire new skills, maintain existing abilities, and ultimately achieve improved health and wellbeing.

The Role of Capacity Building
Capacity Building supports are crucial because they offer tailored, goal-oriented assistance that goes beyond basic daily care. This funding stream enables participants to access various professionals, including allied health services (like occupational therapy or physiotherapy) and support coordinators, whose primary focus is to foster long-term skills and autonomy.
For NDIS participants, achieving improved health and wellbeing means having the tools and knowledge to manage complex health needs, engage in physical activity, maintain mental fitness, and participate more fully in their community. Whether it involves learning to manage a chronic condition, developing self-care routines, or connecting with community groups, the outcome is always centered on a better, healthier life.
Navigating Supports and NDIS Pricing
Providers delivering supports aimed at improved health and wellbeing NDIS outcomes must operate within the guidelines set out by the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. These documents, which include the NDIS Support Catalogue, ensure that participants receive value for money and that prices are reasonable.
Key considerations for services focused on health and wellbeing include:
- Value and Affordability: The NDIS requires that all funded supports are reasonable and necessary. This means that providers must ensure their services—from therapy sessions to assistance with managing health routines—are efficient and align with the NDIS price caps.
- Support Catalogue Alignment: Supports claimed under Capacity Building must correspond to the specific line items in the NDIS Support Catalogue. This ensures proper payment for the delivery of key services, such as therapeutic supports and skill development.
- Regular Review: The NDIS regularly updates its pricing arrangements, often through an Annual Pricing Review. This ensures that the funding structure remains responsive to market changes and continues to effectively support participants' pursuit of improved health and wellbeing NDIS goals.
By aligning person-centered support with transparent pricing and clear goals, Capacity Building remains a vital component of the NDIS, empowering participants to take control of their health journey and secure genuinely improved health and wellbeing.
