From May 19, some NDIS participants with PACE plans will begin receiving their funding in a new way: Funding Periods.

What’s changing?

Instead of getting their full plan budget upfront, participants will receive their funds in instalments – typically every three months.

This new approach is designed to help people pace their spending and avoid the pressure of managing large sums all at once.

What stays the same?

• The total plan budget doesn’t change – it’s just spaced out
• Active Service Agreements are required to release each instalment
• Not all plans are affected immediately, but more may be in future
