13. What are reasonable and necessary supports?
Reasonable and necessary supports are funded by the NDIS in a range of areas, which may include education, employment, social participation, independence, living arrangements and health and wellbeing. These supports will help participants to:
pursue their goals, objectives and aspirations
increase their independence
increase social and economic participation, and
develop their capacity to actively take part in the community.

14. How does the National Disability Insurance Agency know what is reasonable and necessary?
What does the NDIS mean by ‘goals’?
NDIA staff make decisions based on the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (NDIS Act) and the rules made under the NDIS Act. The operational guidelines also provide practical guidance for decision makers.
When NDIA staff makes decisions about which supports would be reasonable and necessary for a particular participant, they refer to the particular operational guideline that relates to each specific support. In order to be considered reasonable and necessary, a support must:
be related to the participant’s disability
not include day-to-day living costs that are not related to a participant’s disability support needs
represent value for money
be likely to be effective and beneficial to the participant, and
take into account informal supports given to participants by families, carers, networks, and the community.

15. What types of support will not be funded or provided by the NDIS?
is not related to the participant’s disability
duplicates other supports already funded by a different mechanism through the NDIS
relates to day-to-day living costs that are not related to a participant’s support needs, or
is likely to cause harm to the participant or pose a risk to others.
