How does SLES funding work?

The funding is delivered annually for a maximum of two years, with young people getting a lump sum of around $22,000 that they can spend on supports over the year. 

Funding for SLES consists of being able to apply for disability or requesting at plan review to include SLES funding in NDIS plans. A function capacity assessment may be required by and Occupational Therapist. 

Depending on the young person’s needs and capacity, an activity schedule is developed to set goals and reflections together with the young person.
