NDIS Plan Review for ADHD Participants in Sydney

Typical Annual Funding

$8,000—$45,000

Based on NDIS quarterly data for ADHD participants in NSW

Common Gaps Found

4 categories

typically missing or underfunded

Improved Daily Living (Therapy)

Therapy funding is commonly inadequate because plans often allocate based on minimum sessions rather than clinical need. OT, speech, and psychology sessions at recommended frequency can cost significantly more than initially allocated.

$12,000/year typical

Support Coordination

Support coordination is one of the most commonly underfunded categories. Many participants receive Level 1 (Support Connection) when they actually need Level 2 or even Specialist Support Coordination to navigate the complexity of their supports.

$8,000/year typical

Finding & Keeping a Job

Employment support is frequently missing entirely from plans, despite being a key pathway to independence. School leavers and adults seeking employment often need dedicated job coaching and workplace support.

$9,000/year typical

Assistive Technology

Many planners overlook assistive technology funding because participants may not know what devices are available or haven't had an AT assessment. Items like communication devices, specialised software, and adaptive equipment can significantly improve independence.
