NDIS Capacity Building
NDIS Capacity Building Supports
Capacity Building Supports are about building skills and independence over time, getting a job, joining a community, managing a household, navigating systems. Spot On delivers employment support and selected community participation supports under this budget.
What is in NDIS Capacity Building?
There are nine Capacity Building categories. Spot On actively delivers employment support and partially delivers community participation supports. All nine are listed below.
Category 1
Support Coordination
What this covers
Help to understand your NDIS plan, find the right providers, and bring your supports together.
What Spot On delivers
We do not provide support coordination, but we work closely with support coordinators on behalf of their participants.
Category 2
Improved Living Arrangements
What this covers
Support to find, secure and keep suitable accommodation, tenancy obligations, rental applications, navigating housing systems.
What Spot On delivers
We do not deliver tenancy support directly. We do deliver the household tasks and minor home modifications that often go alongside it (see Core Supports and Capital Supports).
Category 3
Increased Social and Community Participation
What this covers
Skill-building, classes, groups and programs that help a participant develop new abilities and confidence in social and community settings.
What Spot On delivers
Selected supported-attendance services where the goal is skill-building over time, not just access. We coordinate with support coordinators or families to make sure the activity is aligned with the participant's goals.
Category 4
Finding and Keeping a Job
What this covers
Support to prepare for, find, secure and keep employment, including job-search skills, on-the-job mentoring, workplace navigation, and confidence-building.
What Spot On delivers
- One-on-one employment support, preparing for work, building work-readiness, supported job search, on-the-job mentoring.
- Weekly cadence designed to build momentum toward a real outcome, paid work, volunteering, or work-experience.
- Coordination with the participant, family, plan manager, and any employment service provider.
Who this suits
Participants whose plan includes Finding and Keeping a Job funding and who want hands-on, regular support to move toward, or stay in, paid work.
Category 5
Improved Relationships
What this covers
Behaviour support, social skill development, and strategies to build healthier relationships at home, in the community, and in the workplace.
What Spot On delivers
We do not deliver behaviour support or relationship therapy. We do deliver community access supports that can complement this work.
Category 6
Improved Health and Wellbeing
What this covers
Exercise physiology, dietetics and other allied health supports focused on physical health and lifestyle outcomes.
What Spot On delivers
We do not deliver allied health services.
Category 7
Improved Learning
What this covers
Support to transition from school to further education, training or employment, including study skills, navigating systems, and accessing courses.
What Spot On delivers
We do not deliver learning support. Our employment support work (see Category 4) often overlaps with learning-related goals.
Category 8
Improved Life Choices
What this covers
Plan management, the financial administration of a participant's NDIS funding by a registered plan manager.
What Spot On delivers
We are not a plan manager. We invoice plan managers on behalf of participants we work with.
Category 9
Improved Daily Living Skills
What this covers
Therapy supports delivered by occupational therapists, psychologists, physiotherapists, speech pathologists and other allied health professionals to build skills for everyday life.
What Spot On delivers
We do not deliver clinical therapy. Where a participant has therapy goals around independent living, we often deliver the practical day-to-day supports that put those goals into practice.
Information for support coordinators and plan managers
