How do you get podiatry and foot care supports in your plan?

When we think about what podiatry and foot care supports to include in your plan, we’ll look at what other supports you get through the health system and other mainstream and community supports.

Your my NDIS contact, support coordinator or recovery coach will work with you and other services to help you get the support you need.

Once we’ve identified the supports and decided they meet the NDIS funding criteria, we’ll include the description and funding for the NDIS support in your plan.

Learn more about how we include the reasonable and necessary supports in your plan.

If your situation changes or you think your current plan doesn’t have enough funding for the podiatry and foot care supports you need, you can ask for a change to your plan.

Do you need to provide us with evidence?

Yes. To get podiatry and foot care supports in your plan, you need to give us evidence. This evidence should help us understand the podiatry and foot care supports you need.

Talk to your my NDIS contact or support coordinator to work out what evidence we need.

Learn more in our Factsheet - What evidence you need to give us before we can create or change your plan?

You can give us any new information or evidence about your podiatry and foot care support needs when you get it, or anytime we talk with you.

If you have a podiatry care plan, we may ask for a copy. We’ll also ask for any other assessments or reports about your foot care supports.

We’ll ask you, your family, or carers to explain how your disability affects your ability to manage your podiatry and foot care.

We’ll talk to you about what podiatry and foot care supports you currently get. We’ll ask who you get your supports from, and how often you get them. We’ll also ask what supports you might need but don’t have yet.

We’ll use this information to decide if the podiatry and foot care supports you need meet the NDIS funding criteria for you. If they do, we’ll work out the amount of funding for podiatry and foot care supports to include in your plan.
