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
How we’re supporting you
The Provider Choice portal has been updated to:
- Show current available funding
- Display upcoming instalments
- Help participants, coordinators, and providers manage budgets with confidence
