When we make decisions about which NDIS supports we can fund, we consider whether a support is reasonable and necessary for you and apply the NDIS funding criteria.
NDIS supports need to be for you and be necessary to address your disability support needs.
You might ask for NDIS supports to help with impairments that didn’t meet the requirements at the time of your access decision. When this happens, we need to make sure the NDIS support will help you address your disability support needs. Learn more about Applying to the NDIS.
We may ask you to provide evidence to help us work out if the support relates to your disability support needs by applying the NDIS funding criteria.
Learn more about how to ask for supports in Our Guidelines – Changing your plan.
By doing this we make sure the system is fair for everyone, and the NDIS remains financially sustainable.
