Funding basics

NDIS Plan Management Resources: Service Agreements & Invoice Payments

Your NDIS plan organises funding into different support budgets and categories, each designed to help you access specific services and supports. Understanding how these budgets work can help you make informed decisions, monitor your spending and get the most from your NDIS funding. The supports included in your plan will depend on your individual needs and goals.Every NDIS plan is divided into budget categories. Knowing what each one covers makes it easier to track spending.

Core Supports

Core Supports help with everyday activities, personal care, household tasks and community participation. Funding is generally flexible across eligible support categories, subject to your plan and NDIS rules.

Capital Supports

Capital Supports fund specific equipment and larger investments, such as assistive technology, home modifications and specialist disability accommodation. Funding is generally restricted to the approved supports in your plan.

Capacity Building

Capacity Building Supports help develop skills and independence through services such as therapy, employment support and support coordination. Funding is allocated to specific categories and generally cannot be transferred between them.

What Is an NDIS Service Agreement?

An NDIS service agreement outlines the supports a provider will deliver, their costs, payment arrangements and the responsibilities of everyone involved. It helps you understand what you’re agreeing to and how services fit within your available funding. ZoomPay can use relevant agreement details to assist with invoice verification and budget tracking.

How Are NDIS Provider Invoices Processed?

When ZoomPay receives a provider invoice, we review the service details, applicable NDIS pricing rules and available funding. Once the invoice is verified and appropriately authorised, we submit the claim to the NDIA and arrange payment when funds are received. Clear, accurate invoices help minimise unnecessary delays.
