• Capacity Building Supports

Supports that enable a participant to build their independence and skills.

The Capacity Building funding is allocated across eight support sub-categories, each matched with the goals in your plan. You can choose how to spend these funds to purchase any approved individual support within its category, but won’t be able to move funding from one category to another.

The Capacity Building support categories include:

• 07 Support Coordination
• 08 Home Living
• 09 Social and Community Participation
• 10 Employment
• 11 Relationships
• 12 Health and Wellbeing
• 13 Lifelong Learning
• 14 Choice and Control
• 15 Daily Activity
• 20 Behaviour Support

Support Coordination (if required) is included in the Capacity Building budget. This is a fixed amount for strengthening participant’s abilities to coordinate and implement supports in their plans and to participate more fully in the community.
