Navigating the complexities of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can sometimes be challenging, especially when it comes to understanding why certain supports are or aren't funded. At Proactive Plan Managers, we're here to help clarify how the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) makes these decisions and explain the payments we can and can't process.
How Does the NDIA Make Funding Decisions?
The NDIA bases its funding decisions on several key criteria to ensure that supports are reasonable and necessary. Here's a breakdown of the main factors they consider:
The support must be directly related to your disability and not something that would be needed regardless of your condition.
The cost of the support should be reasonable compared to the benefits it provides. This means the support should be cost-effective in achieving your goals.
The support must be proven to be effective and beneficial in achieving your goals and improving your quality of life.
The support should not be available through other mainstream services, such as healthcare or education systems.
The support should facilitate your participation in the community, improve your independence, and enhance your social and economic participation.
Common Supports the NDIS May Not Fund:
Understanding what the NDIS generally does not fund can help manage your expectations and planning. Here are some examples:
Expenses like groceries, rent, and utility bills are considered regular living costs and are not covered by the NDIS.
Treatments and services that fall under the healthcare system, including doctor visits and hospital stays, are not funded by the NDIS.
School fees and materials that fall under the education system are typically not covered.
Any supports that do not directly relate to your disability or contribute to your goals.
