When we think about what wound and pressure care supports to include in your plan, we’ll also 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 has changed, or, you think your current plan doesn’t have enough funding for the wound and pressure care supports you need, you can ask for a change to your plan.
Learn more about changing your plan.
Do you need to provide us with evidence?
Yes. To get wound and pressure care supports in your plan, you need to give us evidence that helps us understand the disability-related health 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 create or change your plan.
You can give us any new information or evidence about your support needs when you get it or anytime we talk with you.
We’ll ask about what wound and pressure care supports you currently have, and what supports you might need. We’ll also ask who you get your supports from, and how often you get them. You may need quotes for particular wound care consumables or prevention supports, for example, dressings or a pressure relief cushion.
We’ll use this information to decide if wound and pressure care supports meet the NDIS funding criteria for you. If they do, we’ll work out the amount of funding to make sure you get the disability-related wound and pressure care supports you need.
