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

Group & Centre Activities

Social skills programs and group activities are crucial for building social capacity but are often excluded from plans. These programs provide structured environments for practising communication, relationship, and community skills.

$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.
