💡 Did You Know? Understanding "Reasonable and Necessary" Supports in Your NDIS Plan 💡

One of the most common questions NDIS participants ask is: What does "reasonable and necessary" mean when it comes to funding? Let’s break it down!

For a support or service to be funded by the NDIS, it must meet these key criteria:
✅ Relate to your disability: It must directly help you achieve your goals, reduce the impact of your disability, or increase your independence.
✅ Value for money: The support should provide good benefits for the cost.
✅ Effective and beneficial: Evidence (like reports) may be needed to show that the support works for you.
✅ Not funded elsewhere: Supports covered by other systems, like health or education, are not NDIS-funded.

For example:

Asking the NDIS to fund swimming lessons? ✔️ That might be considered reasonable and necessary if they’re for building strength and mobility as part of your therapy goals.
Asking for funding for a gym membership? ❌ This might not be approved unless it’s clearly tied to your disability goals, such as improving physical functioning or social participation, and supported by evidence from your therapist.
💬 Top Tip: Keep your goals clear in your plan. The NDIS uses your goals to decide what supports to fund!
