Changes to NDIS supports that start on 3 October 2024.
From 3 October 2024, there is a new definition of NDIS supports. What does NDIS fund? (opens in a new window)
This means that starting on 3 October, participants:
- can only spend NDIS funding on things that are in the approved list of NDIS supports.
- cannot spend NDIS funding on things in the list of non-NDIS supports.
There will be a 12-month transition period for the NDIS support lists.
Participants can ask for an NDIS support to be replaced with certain non-NDIS supports. These are called replacement supports. Replacement supports must be from the pre-approved list. You can find this list of replacement supports on the same page as the NDIS supports list. n.b. to get a replacement support approved, participants need to show that the replacement support will lead to the same or better outcomes, and be the same or better value for money, compared to the current NDIS support. Participants must follow this process before purchasing the replacement support. It cannot be done after purchasing a non-NDIS support. If an application for a replacement support for an item is not approved, the participant can’t apply for that same replacement support again for 12 months.

We’ve created a handy table of NDIS Ins & Outs lists with replacement supports so you can easily compare across like categories.
