The NDIS may fund the following types of supports for participants with disabilities.
- Daily personal activities

- Therapeutic supports
- Assistance with household activities to help participants maintain their living environment and improve their sense of independence
- Supporting the participant with skilled personnel, aids, equipment assessments, set-up and training
- Home modification designs and construction requirements
- Mobility equipment

In addition to understanding what the NDIS does pay for, it’s also helpful to explore what is not covered. The NDIS does not fund support that includes:
- Anything unrelated to the participant’s disability
- Anything covered under different funding through the NDIS
- Anything unrelated to the participant’s support needs
- Anything likely to harm the participant or create a risk to others
- Anything that can be more appropriately or effectively delivered through another system like the healthcare system or education system
