Reasonable & Necessary Self Assessment

What does Reasonable and Necessary mean?

There are new laws about what we can and can’t fund under the NDIS. All supports need to meet each of the reasonable and necessary criteria before we can fund them in your plan.

For example, your supports need to relate to the impairments you meet the disability or early intervention requirements for, be value for money, and effective and beneficial. We also need to make sure each support is an NDIS support.

This means it is a service, item, or equipment that can be funded by the NDIS.

Examples of NDIS supports include support with personal daily living tasks and accessing the community, therapeutic supports, and personal mobility equipment.

Your reasonable and necessary NDIS supports are not intended to replace the informal supports already available to you (unpaid support provided by family, friends, and the wider community) or other formal supports that are covered by an existing system, such as health, and education. You can read further information about reasonable and necessary supports here.

What are NDIS Supports?

The NDIS fund NDIS supports that relate to your disability. NDIS supports are the services, items, and equipment that can be funded by the NDIS.

NDIS would typically fund a requested support if it meets ALL of the following criteria:

it is for your impairments that meet the disability or early intervention requirements, or both
it will help with your individual goals and aspirations
it will help your social and/or economic participation
it is value for money, which means that:
- the cost of the support is similar to or cheaper than alternative options that can provide you with the same outcome (NDIS Supports for Participants Rule 3.1(a)); and/or
- purchasing the support is likely to reduce the costs of funding for other supports in the long term (NDIS Supports for Participants Rule 3.1(c)).
it is effective and beneficial for you
it helps to maintain your informal supports
it is an NDIS support.

The NDIS Supports Lists can be found on the NDIS website here.
