What can you actually use your NDIS funding for?
It’s not always a simple yes or no.
NDIS funding is designed for disability-related supports that help you work towards your goals, build independence and participate in everyday life. But everyday expenses, general healthcare, education costs and ordinary recreation are usually not covered.
Before using your funding, ask:
✔️ Does it relate to my disability?
✔️ Is it an NDIS support?
✔️ Does it align with my plan and goals?
✔️ Is another system responsible?
✔️ Would I need this if I didn’t have a disability?
If you’re unsure, seek advice and check the current NDIA guidance before purchasing. You may need to repay funding used for something that isn’t an NDIS support.
Save this carousel for later and share it with someone navigating their NDIS plan.
