How NDIS personal care funding works
The NDIS funds your personal care based on your specific needs. These are usually listed in your NDIS plan. The funding helps cover support for different times of your day:
- Morning routine: Often covers support for bathing, dressing, and grooming.
- Mealtimes: Funding to help with eating, drinking, and taking medication.
- Mobility and positioning: Support for exercises, repositioning, or transfers.
- Extra toileting needs: Additional funding if you need specific toileting support.
If your needs are complex or you have medical issues, the NDIS might offer extra funding. This helps make sure you get all the support you need. For details on NDIS rules and funding, you can visit the official NDIS website.
Is NDIS personal care support right for you?
The NDIS uses clear rules to decide on personal care funding. They want to make sure the support is needed and will help you. To qualify, the support must:
- Be disability-related: It should directly help you with challenges from your disability.
- Be practical and essential: It should be cost-effective. It must help you reach the goals in your NDIS plan.
- Boost independence: The support must aim to increase your independence and improve your quality of life.
- Align with your plan: The support must fit the goals and funding in your approved NDIS plan.
Remember, NDIS funding doesn't cover daily living costs not linked to your disability. It also doesn't cover services from other government programs. And it won't pay for anything unsafe.
