Work & Study on the NDIS
The NDIS may fund some supports for work and study when they are disability-related, meet the NDIS funding criteria, and are not the responsibility of mainstream systems like schools, universities, or employers. This article explains what that means in practice, including common inclusions (and exclusions), how to build goals into a plan, and what to do if needs change.
Understanding Reasonable & Necessary Supports
All funded NDIS supports must meet the “reasonable and necessary” criteria and must be an “NDIS support” under updated laws. This article explains what each criterion means in practice, why some supports aren’t funded even when recommended, how the NDIA considers mainstream and informal supports, and what options exist if a participant disagrees with a funding decision.
