YOUR NDIS COACH

Financial coaching is often an overlooked parts of the NDIS — yet it can be some of the most powerful supports when it comes to building real independence.

At Empower Your Budget, we act as your financial coach. We focus on building your understanding of your NDIS funding, strengthening your confidence, and equipping you with the practical skills to engage with your plan in a meaningful way.

NDIS plans can feel complex and overwhelming. The language is unfamiliar, the budgets are detailed, and the rules can feel unclear. Without guidance, it’s easy to feel disconnected from your own plan. That’s where we come in.

Through personalised mentoring and practical support, we help you:

  • Understand what your funding is designed for

  • Learn how your budgets work and how to monitor them

  • Build confidence in making informed financial decisions

  • Develop practical skills to engage with providers

  • Grow in independence over time

Whether you are just beginning your NDIS journey or looking to gain more control and clarity within your current plan, financial coaching creates space for growth. It shifts you from feeling unsure about your funding to feeling informed, empowered, and capable.

Our approach is grounded in capacity building. We don’t just do things for you — we walk alongside you, building your skills so that over time, you feel increasingly confident managing your supports and understanding your funding.

Because true independence isn’t just about having a plan.
It’s about understanding it, using it wisely, and feeling empowered every step of the way.

Where Does Financial Coaching Funding Come From?

Financial coaching can be funded through different areas of your NDIS plan. The right category depends on your individual goals, how your plan is written, and the outcomes the support is working towards.

At Empower Your Budget, we help you understand where your support may fit and how it aligns with your plan.

Capacity Building – Increased Social & Community Participation

This is the most common funding category for coaching supports.

It is designed to build your independence and confidence so you can participate more fully in your community. Mentoring that focuses on developing practical life skills, confidence, and decision-making often sits here.

Relevant line items may include supports focused on:

  • Individual skill development

  • Life skills training

  • Building independence in community settings

Core – Assistance with Social & Community Participation

In some circumstances, coaching may be funded under Core supports.

This generally applies when the support is centred around helping you engage in everyday activities, increase social inclusion, or build confidence in community participation.

Core funding is more flexible, however it must still align clearly with the goals outlined in your plan.

Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living

Coaching is focused on strengthening daily living skills — such as organisation, routines, cooking, time management, or practical independence — it may fall under Improved Daily Living.

This category is often associated with therapy supports, but non-clinical mentoring can also be funded here when it directly links to skill development and measurable outcomes.

    This stage is about helping you truly understand:

    - What your budgets mean in real terms

    - How your funding supports your goals

    Creating a Practical Strategy for Your Funding

    Once we understand your plan, we work with you to create a clear and realistic strategy.

    This means mapping out how your funding can be used across the length of your plan, identifying priorities, and ensuring your supports align with your goals. We help you think ahead — not just week to week, but across your full plan period.

    Planning may include:

    - Budget forecasting

    - Allocating funding intentionally

    - Identifying gaps or opportunities
