Managing your NDIS consumables budget can feel like solving a puzzle.
Let's make it a piece of cake! So, what is the NDIS consumables budget? It’s part of your Core Supports budget, designed to help with everyday activities and disability-related needs.
The core Supports budget has four categories- Assistance with Daily Life, Consumables, Assistance with Social and Community Participation, and Transport. Now, let's talk about consumables. These are everyday items needed for personal disability-related needs. Think gloves, hand sanitiser, face masks, and continence products. …
They’re low-risk, low-cost, and essential. You can spend up to $1,500 on things like cleaning supplies, modified eating aids, and specialised food supplements The best part? The consumables budget is flexible! But remember, you must use it for reasonable and necessary items related to your disability, and will help you to reach your NDIS goals. So, where can you use it? Pretty much anywhere—supermarkets, pharmacies, or even specialised online stores like Mshop.com.au.
Just keep it reasonable, necessary, and disability-related. Using your NDIS consumables budget wisely means more support for those who need it most.
