Re: Q&A Info Session // How to support a loved one through the NDIS // Mon 14- Fri 18 Aug
Hey @Former-Member
I've gone back to the NDIA with that question, as it's an interesting one. Will let you know as soon as I do.
Cheers,

Hi @Former-Member
Here is the response from the NDIA
"The conversation would need to occur around the persons individual needs and be related to goals in their plan, it isn’t a straight yes or no. I would encourage the person to have the conversation, knowing that answer may be no"
In my interpretation of that - I would say give it a go, with the potential they will say no. However, you would need to get supportive evidence from clinical and allied health professionals to say that it is 'reasonable and neccesary'
https://www.ndis.gov.au/participants/reasonable-and-necessary-supports
In that it states that it does not pay for things that
- relates to day-to-day living costs that are not related to a participant's support needs. It would be proving that your ride on mower is not just a cost that is a day to day living cost.
It may be tricky but you can always try - worst thing is that they say no, but you can always try.
Hope this helps,
