When to use this code
Use this code for support that builds a participant’s ability to manage daily living tasks more independently. Unlike Core personal care codes (which provide direct hands-on help), this Capacity Building code funds training and skill development. The goal is for the participant to gradually need less support over time.
Common billing scenarios
- A provider delivers this support and claims $1.00 per unit. The claim is submitted with documentation of the support provided.
- A participant receives this support on a regular basis. The provider submits claims after each service delivery with appropriate records.
Provider notes
- Capacity Building funding is time-limited and goal-oriented. Document how the support contributes to the participant’s plan goals, as this will be reviewed at plan reassessment. Unlike Core funding, Capacity Building budgets are usually not flexible across categories.
- When billing under this code, make sure the support delivered matches the description in the NDIS Support Catalogue. Mismatched codes are a common audit finding. Keep records of the date, time, duration, and nature of each support session.
