Typical Annual Funding

$12,000—$120,000

Based on NDIS quarterly data for Parkinson's Disease 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

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

Assistance with Daily Life

Daily personal activities funding often doesn't account for the actual time needed for complex care routines, medication management, and personal hygiene support. Participants with higher needs are frequently allocated below their actual requirements.

$25,000/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.
