How do I know what I can purchase with my NDIS funding?
The NDIS provides a guidelines about what is considered to be a "Reasonable and Necessary" purchase for your support. To be considered the NDIS says the support or purchase should::
- be related to your disability
- be value for money
- be likely to be effective and work for you
- take into account supports you already receive from the government, your family, carers, support networks and the community
- not include day-to-day living costs not related to your disability support needs
You should also ask yourself if it will:
- increase my independence
- it help me pursue my goals, objectives and aspirations
- increase my participation in work or the community
- develop my capacity to take part in the community
If you can justify your purchase to meet this criteria you will have the best chances that the NDIS will approve.
