In the year 2013, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was legislated. It aims to fund the costs associated with disability.

What Does the NDIS cover?
Each NDIS plan is tailored to suit the unique, individual needs of the participant. Your NDIS Plan usually covers expenses related to supporting your daily personal activities, help with household tasks, home and vehicle modifications or alterations and therapeutic support. The costs of mobility and disability aid equipment, such as wheelchairs are also covered. Your NDIS Plan Management provider will help you pay for all these expenses through your funding.
In general, expenses that are considered to be reasonable and necessary are usually covered by your NDIS Plan. These expenses must be related to your disability. They must be beneficial to you and represent value for money. That is why the NDIS Plan Management costs are also covered by the Improved Life Choices plan.
What Are the Types of NDIS Support Budgets?

The NDIS cannot fund expenses that are not related to your disability. Therefore, your NDIS Plan cannot be used to pay your rent, entertainment and food expenses using your funds.
