What is NDIS
The National Disability Insurance Scheme is a scheme of the Australian Government that funds costs associated with disability. The scheme was legislated in 2013 and went into full operation in 2020.
Claiming funding for items in our store
There are different categories of funding under the NDIS and each of these categories fund different activities and services that are related to a NDIS participants’ goals.
You should be able to receive funding for the items in our store if they are directly related to your NDIS goals.
Some individuals have an 'Assistive Technology' or ‘Consumables’ budget included in their plan as part of the ‘Core Budget’.
Assistive Technology and Consumable Budget
Low risk Assistive Technology or consumables (Level 1) are described as low cost and low risk products from retail suppliers which need no or very little assistance to set up such as, a non-slip bathmat and sensory regulation tools. Basically all of the items in our store.
Low cost and low risk items (Level 1) do not require a form to be sent into the NDIS. Individuals with Level 1 funded supports in their plan can seek advice and buy it themselves.
Supply of Levels 2-4 require an appropriate assessment form to be sent into the NDIS. These items need to be assessed by the NDIA as part of your planning process and written into your plan if approved.
Who Can I ask?
If you are unsure of whether you may be able to use your funding for any of the items in our store, it would be helpful to have a conversation with your Local Area Coordinator (if self-managed) or Plan Manager (if plan-managed).

How to claim for items
If you are:
Self-Managed – pop into our store and choose the items you are after (or order online) and pay as per a normal sale.
Email or call us to provide you with an NDIS compliant receipt, for your records.
Log onto the NDIS portal and request reimbursement of the funds spent.
Plan Managed – if you would like a NDIS compliant invoice please email or call us with your order and we will generate an invoice.

Please include the items, and the required information, such as weight, size, colour, and we will prepare your order for shipping or collection (please specify). Also include the details of your Plan Manager, as well as their email address.
We then send your Plan Manager an invoice, and once payment is made you are able to pick up your items (or we can send them via shipping).
You can also choose to pay upfront, then email us asking for a receipt which you can provide to your Plan Manager for reimbursement. Which means you can have the items straight away.
Agency Managed – Please, keep an eye on us as this may change soon
As we are a small Private Practice, we have chosen not to register with the NDIA at this time. Even though we are unable to assist you with buying therapeutic resources with your NDIA managed funds, we would love to assist you if you are using your personal funds and we have made it our priority to keep our prices competitive.
