If you have a disability and you're involved in the justice system, there are some supports we may fund. The justice system is responsible for providing other supports. Check the list of supports that are not NDIS supports for the justice system.
We consider you’re involved in the justice system if you’re:
- in custody in a correctional facility, for example a prison, remand centre, youth detention centre or secure mental health facility
- on remand, awaiting or following sentencing
- required by a court order to regularly report to a correctional or community correctional agency, for example on bail, probation, or parole
- serving a community-based order, or are on a leave of absence order or therapeutic leave
- under forensic orders, which may include restrictions on your movements or other requirements, such as drug testing or attending prescribed treatment.
We have a guideline about the justice system with more information about what we can and can’t fund.
