Capacity Building supports

Build skills for everyday life, at your pace.
Capacity Building supports can help you learn, practise, and strengthen skills that support independence over time. This might include therapy, training, employment assistance, and behaviour support, shaped around your goals, routines, and what matters to you.

Core vs Capacity Building

These fundings can sound similar, but they’re used differently.

A simple way to think about it:

  • Core supports: help with day-to-day needs right now.
  • Capacity Building supports: help build skills and routines over time.


Capacity Building is usually more specific, and often needs to match the categories listed in your plan.

Try our quiz below if you’re unsure what fits where.

  • What are Capacity Building supports?

    Supports that help you build skills and independence over time, linked to your NDIS goals.

  • How is Capacity Building different from Core?

    Core is usually for everyday help right now. Capacity Building is usually for learning skills and building routines over time.

  • Do I need goals to use Capacity Building supports?

    Often, yes. It usually helps when the support links clearly to your goals.

  • Can I move Capacity Building funding between categories?

    Often it’s more specific than Core. It depends on how your plan is set up.
