NDIS support

COVID-19 has changed much about the way we live and many critical services have been affected. If you’re an NDIS participant, you might be able to access your funding for some COVID-19 related expenses.

• If you rely on technology, you may be able to use your funding to pay for low-cost assistive technology.
• If you live in a location where a state health order requires you to wear PPE, like face masks, you may be able to claim for PPE.

See the NDIS website for more information and categories you might be able to claim for.
