The NDIS will only fund products if they are considered to be reasonable and necessary. This means that before the NDIS will include a support in your plan, it needs to meet all the following criteria:

The support will assist you to pursue your goals in your plan.
The support will assist you to undertake activities, to facilitate your social and economic participation.
The support represents value for money in that the costs of the support are reasonable relative to both the benefits achieved and the cost of alternative supports.
The support will be, or is likely to be, effective and beneficial for you, having regard to current good practice.
The funding of the support takes account of what it is reasonable to expect families, carers, informal networks and the community to provide.
The support is most appropriately funded or provided through the NDIS, and is not more appropriately funded or provided through:
 
  • other general systems of service delivery, or support services offered by a person, agency or body (for example, a State or Territory Statutory Scheme)
     
  • systems of service delivery or support services offered as part of a universal service obligation (for example, the health or education system)
     
  • systems of service delivery or support services offered in accordance with reasonable adjustments required under discrimination laws (for example, your employer, or the health or education system).
