Nursing, Medication, and Wound Care: When Can the NDIS Fund Health Supports?

When thinking about whether the NDIS will fund health supports like nursing, there are several factors that will be considered.

Psychology vs Psychiatry? Can they both be claimed from the NDIS?

Psychologists and Psychiatrists may seem similar but whether they can be funded by the NDIS differs. Psychologists may be funded in many situations, but a psychiatrist’s role may be much more limited.

Can the NDIS fund gym memberships?

In the Operational Guidelines, the NDIA provides some examples where gym memberships would not be claimable. They argue that gym memberships are typically a day-to-day living cost that is not disability-related and therefore would not be funded by the NDIS.

Allied health and the NDIS

Allied health professionals are one of the largest groups of registered providers with the NDIS. Although the term “allied health” is used a lot when discussing NDIS supports, it’s not always clear exactly what makes allied health different from other health providers.
