Claiming Information

This support item is a quotable support, meaning it is not subject to a set price limit in the same way as hourly labour support items. Funding for this item must be utilised for supports that are considered reasonable and necessary to achieve the participant's goals, as outlined in their NDIS plan, and must comply with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. The support is intended for the cost of products, not for the labour of support workers providing the personal care itself.
