Disability-related health supports are health supports that relate directly to the functional impact of your disability. If you need help to manage a health condition because of your disability, we may fund disability-related health supports to help you manage that condition.
This could include expert training for you or your support providers. Supports could also include someone to provide some disability-related health supports for you and some specific types of equipment.
We can’t fund supports to treat your health condition. The Australian health system provides health services to everyone for illnesses or chronic health conditions.
Note: When we say ‘your plan we mean your NDIS plan. If you’re looking for information about your Community Connections plan, go to Our Guideline – Community Connections.
