This tool shows the average NDIS plan budget and the average utilisation for a state and support class, drawn from the NDIA’s own quarterly data. Pick a state and a support class, and the averages appear in a table with the date the data was published.
What the averages mean
Two numbers sit at the centre of this tool. The average annualised committed budget is the typical yearly amount committed to plans in that state for that support class. Average utilisation is the share of committed funding that participants actually drew on.
Averages describe groups of participants, not any individual plan. A plan can sit well above or well below the average for sound reasons, because every plan is built around one person’s goals and circumstances. Read these figures as context, never as a target or an entitlement.
Where the numbers come from
The NDIA publishes de-identified quarterly data on participant numbers, committed budgets, and utilisation, broken down by state and support class. This tool reads that published data directly and reports it without adjustment.
Because the data is refreshed each quarter, the averages move over time. Every result carries the date of the data it draws on, so you always know how current the figure is.
