For NDIS Participants, Families & Support Coordinators in Australia
That’s what Sarah from Kalgoorlie told us. She didn’t overspend. She didn’t break any rules. She simply lost track — and when her plan renewed, $14,000 vanished into thin air.
The NDIA doesn’t roll over unspent funds. What you don’t use, you lose.
If you’ve ever opened your NDIS portal and felt a knot in your stomach because you have no idea where you actually stand… keep reading.
The NDIS gives you a plan. A budget. Categories. Sub-categories. Stated supports. Flexible supports. Core. Capacity Building. Capital. Recurring.
And then they say: “Off you go. Manage it.”
Meanwhile…
Sound familiar?
It’s not your fault. The NDIS myplace portal was designed for bureaucrats, not for real people trying to live their lives. The interface is confusing. The categories overlap. And there’s no simple way to see: “Am I on track? Am I going to run out? Am I leaving money on the table?”
Let’s be brutally honest about what happens when you don’t track your NDIS spending:
💸 Lost funding. Unspent money doesn’t roll over. If your plan ends with $8,000 sitting in Capacity Building because you “weren’t sure what was covered,” that money is gone forever.
📉 Reduced plans. If you consistently underspend, the NDIA may reduce your funding at your next review. They look at utilisation. Low spend = “they don’t need as much.”
😰 Plan review panic. Walking into a reassessment without clear evidence of what you used, what worked, and what you need more of is like walking into a job interview without a CV.
🧾 Forgotten invoices. Every unclaimed invoice is money you’ve already paid for (or your provider has delivered) that’s sitting there, waiting to be reimbursed. Some participants have thousands in unclaimed invoices they don’t even know about.
This isn’t a minor inconvenience. For many families, this is the difference between getting the support they need… and going without.
A simple, powerful Excel spreadsheet that shows you exactly where every dollar of your NDIS funding is going — in plain English, with zero confusion.
No apps to download. No accounts to create. No subscriptions.
Just open the file and start tracking.
WORKS ON:
Microsoft Excel • Google Sheets • iPhone • Android • iPad • Any computer
📊 The Dashboard
Open the file and immediately see your total plan budget, how much you’ve spent, how much is remaining, and whether your spending is on track with your plan timeline. A smart alert warns you if you’re overspending or underspending — because both cost you money.
💰 Budget Tracker (All 15 NDIS Categories)
Every NDIS support category is pre-loaded — Core Supports, Capacity Building, Capital, and Recurring. Enter your allocated amounts from your plan letter, and the spreadsheet automatically calculates what you’ve spent, what’s remaining, and what percentage you’ve used. Colour-coded progress bars turn red when you’re over 90% and yellow when you’re over 70%.
📝 Transaction Log
Log every invoice in seconds. Enter the date, provider, amount, and category — and the spreadsheet does the rest. Budget Type fills in automatically. Status (Paid / Claimed / Unclaimed) updates with a single click. Filter to see only unclaimed invoices so you never forget to submit one again. Pre-formatted with 50+ rows ready to go.
🏥 Provider Directory
All your service providers in one place — name, phone, email, hourly rate, NDIS registration status, and ABN. Total spending per provider calculates automatically so you can see exactly who’s getting what.
✅ Plan Review Preparation Sheet
Guided prompts that walk you through preparing for your NDIS plan reassessment. What services did you use? What ran out? What do you need more of? Plus a checklist so you walk into your review meeting prepared, confident, and with evidence.

“I used to dread opening my NDIS portal. Now I open this spreadsheet every Monday morning and I know exactly where I stand. Last plan review, my coordinator said it was the most organised she’d ever seen anyone’s budget. I actually got MORE funding this time.”
— Michelle T., NDIS participant, Perth
“As a support coordinator, I recommend this to every new client. It saves me hours of explaining budget categories and gives families a tool they can actually use. Worth every cent.”
— David R., Support Coordinator, Melbourne
“My son has autism and I manage his plan. I found $2,300 in unclaimed invoices within the first week of using this spreadsheet. That’s money I almost lost. The $39 paid for itself 60 times over.”
— Jenny K., Parent & Plan Manager, Kalgoorlie
Consider what you’re getting:
| Dashboard with automatic spending alerts | $50 value |
| All 15 NDIS budget categories pre-loaded | $30 value |
| Transaction log with auto-status tracking | $40 value |
| Provider directory with spending per provider | $25 value |
| Plan review preparation with guided prompts | $35 value |
| Step-by-step getting started guide | $20 value |
| Total value | $200 |
A plan manager charges you a percentage of your entire budget — often thousands per year — for a service that still doesn’t give you real-time visibility into your spending.
A support coordinator session costs $150+ per hour, and half of it is spent explaining budget categories to you.
Even a basic bookkeeping spreadsheet built by a freelancer would cost you $200-$500.
But you’re not paying $500. Or $200. Or even $100.
One payment. No subscription. No hidden fees. Yours forever.
That’s less than a single hour of support coordination.

If you don’t feel more in control of your NDIS budget — if you don’t feel calmer, clearer, and more confident about where your funding stands — simply email us and we’ll refund every cent. No questions. No hassle. No hard feelings.
We can offer this because we know what happens when people actually start tracking their NDIS spending: they find money they didn’t know they had.
Q: Do I need Microsoft Excel to use this?
No. It works in Microsoft Excel (any version), Google Sheets (free), and on the Excel mobile app for iPhone and Android. If you have a phone, tablet, or computer, you can use it.
Q: I’m not great with spreadsheets. Will I be able to use this?
Yes. The Getting Started Guide walks you through everything step by step. If you can type a number into a cell, you can use this. All the formulas, calculations, and formatting are already built — you just enter your data.
Q: Is this just for self-managed participants?
No. Whether you’re self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed, tracking your spending is essential. Plan-managed participants benefit the most because they have the flexibility to choose providers but often lack visibility into their budget.
Q: Are the NDIS categories up to date with the PACE system?
Yes. All 15 categories across Core, Capacity Building, Capital, and Recurring budgets are included, reflecting the latest NDIS PACE plan structure.
Q: Can my support coordinator use this with me?
Absolutely. Many support coordinators recommend this to their clients. You can share the file via email, Google Drive, or Dropbox. Some coordinators buy multi-use licences for their entire client base.
Q: What if the NDIS changes their categories?
The spreadsheet is fully editable. You can add, rename, or remove categories at any time. And if there’s a major NDIS update, we’ll release a free updated version to all customers.
Q: Is my data private?
100%. The spreadsheet lives on your device. No data is uploaded anywhere. No cloud accounts. No third-party access. Your information stays with you.
Your current NDIS plan has an end date. The clock is ticking. Every unclaimed invoice, every untracked payment, every dollar sitting idle in a category you forgot about — it’s money that won’t be there when your plan renews.
$39 today could save you $5,000 or more in unused funding.
That’s not a sales pitch. That’s maths.
One spreadsheet. Every NDIS category. Every provider. Every invoice.
Complete financial clarity in 15 minutes.
🔒 Secure payment • Instant download • 30-day guarantee • No subscription
P.S. Remember — 30% of NDIS funding goes unspent every year. On a $78,000 plan, that’s $23,400 in support that participants are entitled to but never receive. Don’t let that be you. Get the calculator now.
P.P.S. This spreadsheet is a budgeting tool. It does not replace your plan manager, support coordinator, or professional financial advice. Always confirm NDIS rules with the NDIA directly.
