NDIS Funding Criteria

NDIS-funded nursing services are carefully considered based on specific criteria.

• Services That Qualify: NDIS funds services that contribute to independence and skills development. These services must be related to the disability, delivered by a nurse, and have a defined time limit.
• Services That Don’t Qualify: Services available through other systems or those that are not directly related to the disability. This also covers acute injuries or illnesses expected to heal within a set period.
• Consider Individual Circumstances: In cases where disability hinders self-management of injuries or illnesses, the NDIS may fund a support worker for daily living and functional impairment-related activities.
