The NDIS funds reasonable and necessary supports that are related to a person’s disability and help them work towards their goals. This can include daily personal care, therapy, assistive technology, transport and more. All supports purchased must directly relate to your NDIS-funded disability.
From October 2024, the NDIS introduced official support lists to make it clearer what can and can’t be funded. These include:
The new list of supports outlines:
What you can spend your NDIS funding on (what IS an NDIS support)
What you are not allowed to spend your NDIS funds on (what is NOT an NDIS support).
In specific circumstances, participants can request a replacement support for items that are generally not considered NDIS supports. Exceptions apply.
The NDIS does not fund everyday expenses or supports that are likely to be the responsibility of mainstream or community services. For details see What will the NDIS pay for?
