The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded scheme designed to provide support to Australians with disabilities. For wheelchair users, the NDIS can be a valuable resource, providing funding for a range of essential supports and equipment.

What Can the NDIS Fund for Wheelchair Users?

The NDIS can fund a variety of supports and equipment to help wheelchair users live independently and participate fully in their communities. These may include:

  • Wheelchairs: Funding for manual or powered wheelchairs, depending on individual needs and goals.
  • Wheelchair Accessories: Funding for a range of accessories, such as cushions, headrests, and anti-tip devices.
  • Home Modifications: Funding for home modifications to improve accessibility, such as ramps, widened doorways, and lowered benchtops.
  • Assistive Technology: Funding for assistive technology, such as voice-activated devices and computer software, to help with communication and daily living tasks.
  • Support Workers: Funding for support workers to assist with daily living tasks, such as personal care, meal preparation, and medication administration.
  • Therapy: Funding for physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to help improve mobility, function, and communication.

How to Access NDIS Funding

To access NDIS funding, you must first be eligible. Eligibility is determined by a rigorous assessment process that considers your functional capacity and support needs. Once you’re eligible, you’ll develop an NDIS plan, which outlines the specific supports and funding you’ll receive.
