Changes to NDIS supports

From 3 October 2024, there is a new definition of NDIS supports. The Government has released the lists of what NDIS participants can and cannot spend their funding on.

If you make a mistake and buy supports that are not NDIS supports, the NDIA will work with you to help you understand the new rules and access supports that are NDIS supports.

For more information:

• The final version of the NDIS Supports lists(link is external) are published on the NDIS website.
• The Explanatory Statement for the NDIS Supports Transitional Rules(link is external) steps through each item on the NDIS Supports list and non-NDIS supports list and provides further explanation for each support.
• The NDIS supports transitional rules (legislative instrument)(link is external) on the Federal Register of Legislation

If you’re unsure, there are a few things you can do:

• read the NDIS Supports list(link is external) on the NDIA’s Our Guidelines website.
• speak to your Local Area Coordinator, Early Childhood Partner or Support Coordinator
• if you’re still unsure, call the NDIA on 1800 800 110.
