What does ‘reasonable and necessary’ mean?

Share

Reasonable and necessary is the criteria the NDIS uses to decide which supports and services will be funded in your NDIS Plan. The NDIS may fund a range of supports across areas like:

  • Education
  • Employment
  • Social participation
  • Independence
  • Living arrangements
  • Health and wellbeing.

To be considered reasonable and necessary, supports must be clearly linked to your disability and help you:

  • Work towards your goals
  • Increase your independence
  • Take part in work, study or social activities.
