We’ve released two closely related NDIS budget features designed to better reflect how plans change over time and how funding is often managed in the real world. Temporary Funding and Rollover give you more control during short-term changes and smoother transitions between budget periods, without breaking tracking or reporting.
These updates also tie into how new budgets can now be structured when they’re created.
Temporary Funding
Temporary Funding allows you to add short-term funding on top of an existing NDIS budget to cover time-limited changes in supports.
This is useful in situations such as increased supports after a hospital stay, short-term behavioural supports, or trial periods where funding needs to be temporarily adjusted without rewriting the entire budget.
When adding temporary funding, you can:
Select a start and end date for when the extra funding applies.
Add additional amounts to one or more budget categories.
Review, edit, or remove temporary funding entries later if circumstances change.
Temporary funding always sits within the original budget period. It does not extend the budget dates and does not permanently alter the base allocation. This keeps reporting accurate while still allowing flexibility where it’s needed.
Rollover Funding
Rollover allows remaining funds from one budget period to be carried into another, where applicable. This is particularly helpful during plan transitions or when budgets are renewed before all funding has been fully utilised.
With rollover, you can:
Select the budget you’re rolling from and the budget you’re rolling into.
Roll over all remaining funds or choose specific categories and amounts.
Rely on built-in safeguards that prevent rolling over more than what is actually remaining.
This ensures funding continuity without manual adjustments or guesswork, and keeps historical budgets intact for audit and review.
Smarter Budget Creation and Splitting
When creating a new NDIS budget, you now have the option to pre-split the budget by:
Monthly
Quarterly
Six-monthly
Annually
Imploy automatically divides the total allocated amount across the selected periods, creating a clear structure from day one. As each period expires, the system supports automatic rollover into the next budget, working seamlessly with both Temporary Funding and Rollover logic.
This makes it easier to manage time-based funding, track utilisation consistently, and avoid gaps or overlaps when budgets renew.
Together, these updates give Support Coordinators and providers more realistic tools for managing NDIS funding as it actually behaves, flexible when it needs to be, structured when it matters, and always accurate.
