Here's something the NDIA won't tell you: the system isn't designed to give you what you need. It's designed to give you what you ask for. And if you don't know exactly what to ask for — down to the specific category codes, line items, and dollar amounts — you'll walk out of your planning meeting with thousands less than participants in identical circumstances.
We've analysed over 12,000 NDIS plans from participants across every state and territory in Australia. The pattern is unmistakable: the average participant is missing $18,462 per year in funding they're legally entitled to. That's not an estimate. That's a measured gap between what people receive and what comparable participants with the same disability type, age, and support needs are funded for.
Some plans are missing entire categories — assistive technology never requested, capacity building never discussed, specialist support coordination never even mentioned. Others have the right categories but at a fraction of the appropriate funding level. A participant with ASD might receive $4,000 for therapy when comparable participants receive $12,000. A psychosocial participant might have zero transport funding when their peers receive $3,800.
The worst part? Most participants don't know. They trust that the NDIA has given them a fair plan. They accept it at face value because they don't have the data, the benchmarks, or the knowledge to challenge it. They go without supports they desperately need — not because they aren't eligible, but because nobody told them they should be receiving more.
That's exactly why we built PlanMaxx. In 2 minutes, you'll know exactly where your plan falls short — category by category, dollar by dollar, compared against real data from thousands of similar participants. No guesswork. No opinions. Just the numbers.
No watered-down preview. No “unlock the full version” paywall. You get the complete plan analysis — the same data that disability advocates charge $500+ to produce.
Every single funding category in your plan, mapped and measured. See your Core, Capital, and Capacity Building allocations laid out clearly — many participants don't even know what categories they have.
We compare each category against benchmarks from thousands of similar participants. If you're receiving $3,000 for therapy when comparable participants get $9,000, we flag it. Every underfunded dollar is identified.
Some categories should be in your plan but aren't. Assistive technology, specialist support coordination, transport, community access — we check what's missing based on your disability profile and flag what you should request.
A clear breakdown of your functional capacity across mobility, communication, social interaction, self-care, learning, and self-management — the same framework the NDIA uses to assess your support needs.
Visual charts showing exactly what you currently receive versus what the data suggests you should receive. Take this to your next planning meeting and show your LAC or planner the evidence.
The bottom line: exactly how much additional funding you may be entitled to, broken down by category. Our participants discover an average of $18,462 in missing or underfunded supports.
Whether you're self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed — and whether it's your first plan or your fifth — PlanMaxx works for you.
You suspect your plan doesn't cover everything you need, but you're not sure what to ask for. PlanMaxx gives you the data — specific categories, dollar amounts, and benchmarks — so you walk into your next review prepared, not guessing.
You're managing 30+ participants and can't manually benchmark every plan. PlanMaxx analyses plans in 2 minutes and gives you evidence you can reference in review meetings. Several coordinators now run every participant through PlanMaxx before reviews.
You know the legislation, but building the data case takes hours. PlanMaxx does the benchmarking and gap analysis for you, so you can focus on the legal arguments and tribunal strategy.
You see the spending data but can't always flag underfunding to participants. PlanMaxx gives your clients an independent analysis they can take to their next plan review — and it reflects well on you for recommending it.
Every day you don't check your plan is a day you might be missing out on supports that could genuinely improve your quality of life. We're not talking about abstract numbers on a spreadsheet — we're talking about the therapy sessions you couldn't afford, the assistive technology you went without, the support worker hours that ran out three months before your plan ended.
Consider this: if your plan is underfunded by the average of $18,462 per year, and your plan period is 12 months, that's $50 worth of missing supports every single day. Over a typical 2-year plan period, that's $36,924 in supports you never received. Three plan periods? Over $55,000. That's real money that was meant for your care, your independence, and your quality of life.
And unlike other things in life, NDIS funding doesn't roll over. If you don't use it — or more accurately, if you don't have it in the first place — it's gone. There's no back-pay. There's no retroactive adjustment. The only way to fix underfunding is to request a plan review with evidence. And the first step is knowing where the gaps are.

Upload your plan PDF. Our AI reads every page, compares it against thousands of similar participants, and shows you exactly where your funding falls short. You'll have your report before you finish your coffee. If everything looks good, great — you've got peace of mind. If not, you've got the data to do something about it.
The participants who use PlanMaxx aren't trying to “game the system.” They're trying to receive the supports they're entitled to under the NDIS Act. The legislation is clear: funding should be “reasonable and necessary” based on your specific circumstances. If you're receiving less than comparable participants with similar needs, that's not reasonable — and you have every right to ask for a review.
