Top 7 Services You Didn’t Know Were Covered by NDIS

When most people think of NDIS support, they imagine basic medical care or help with mobility. But the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) covers far more than that—often including services that many families don’t realise are available. At 5 Roses Health, we believe in making sure you get the most out of your plan.

Here are 7 surprising services that may be included in your NDIS funding:

---

1. Meal Preparation and Nutrition Support

Need help planning or preparing meals? NDIS may fund support workers to assist with cooking or even teach you how to prepare healthy meals on your own. It’s about maintaining independence and health.

2. Social and Community Participation

NDIS can help you get out and about—whether it’s joining a social club, attending an art class, or going to a community event. It’s all about staying connected and improving mental wellbeing.

3. Transport Assistance

Getting to appointments, the shops, or even social outings can be part of your plan. NDIS may provide funding for travel training, rides, or even modified vehicles if you qualify.

4. Home Cleaning and Household Tasks

NDIS can cover assistance with tasks like vacuuming, laundry, and making the bed—especially if your disability makes those tasks difficult to manage.

5. Support Coordination

Sometimes you need help navigating your NDIS plan. Support Coordinators can help you find the right providers, track your funding, and make sure everything’s running smoothly.

6. Help with Technology

NDIS may fund assistive technology like iPads, voice-controlled devices, or special software that helps with communication, learning, or independence at home.

7. Personal Development & Skill Building

Whether it's learning how to catch public transport, budgeting money, or managing your health—NDIS can support skill-building activities that improve your independence.
