The NDIS won’t fund anything that isn’t considered a reasonable and necessary support. This includes:
- Everyday living costs that everyone has to pay, like rent, groceries or utility bills
- Items that aren’t related to your disability
- Supports already funded by another service, like Medicare, public health or education
- Anything illegal, unsafe or that’s not considered value for money.
From October 2024, the NDIS introduced a list to make it clearer what can’t be paid for with NDIS funding. Only supports on the approved list (or agreed as a replacement support) can be funded through your NDIS Plan.
