NDIS Plan Review for Cerebral Palsy Participants in Mackay

Typical Annual Funding

$30,000—$200,000

Based on NDIS quarterly data for Cerebral Palsy participants in QLD

Common Gaps Found

4 categories

typically missing or underfunded

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.

$15,000/year typical

Home Modifications

Home modifications are often excluded from initial plans because they require separate assessments and quotes. However, modifications like bathroom rails, ramps, and doorway widening can dramatically improve safety and independence.

$20,000/year typical

Vehicle Modifications

Vehicle modifications are a Capital support that is frequently overlooked in plans. Wheelchair accessible vehicles, transfer hoists, and driving aids can be essential for community access but require specialist assessment.

$30,000/year typical

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.
