NDIS funding is subject to approval based on your individual plan and reasonable and necessary criteria. Nationwide Asset Management can assist with documentation and evidence where required.
The NDIS recognises that assistive products for household tasks are essential for many participants. Funding can cover low-cost items (often through Consumables) up to complex environmental control systems (Capital Supports). We help you navigate the differences and ensure the right items are claimed under the correct support line items.
