Making Sense of Your NDIS Plan: A Helpful Cheat Sheet for Families

If you’ve ever opened your NDIS plan and thought, “Where do I even start?” – you’re not alone.

Many families receive their plan and funding approval, but little practical guidance on how to actually navigate it. Plan types, funding categories, service agreements, billing, claimable vs non-claimable activities… it can feel overwhelming before you’ve even begun.

At BlueRocket Therapy we believe families deserve clarity and confidence when it comes to their supports.

That’s why I have developed a practical NDIS Cheat Sheet to help break it all down in simple, easy-to-understand language.

What’s inside the cheat sheet?

Chelsea’s guide covers key areas including:

• The different plan types (Self-Managed, Plan-Managed and NDIA-Managed)
• How funding categories work
• What therapy can be billed for (and why)
• The difference between billed and non-billed activities
• Understanding reports, travel and indirect time
• Practical tips to help you make the most of your funding

It’s designed to remove confusion, answer common questions, and give families a clearer understanding of how therapy supports fit within their plan.

Why this matters

When families understand their funding, they’re empowered to make informed decisions. It allows for transparent conversations, better planning, and stronger collaboration between clinicians, clients and support teams.
