❌ Not usually.

Participants are generally responsible for ordinary living expenses such as:

• Rent
• Groceries
• Utilities
• Everyday household costs

The NDIS funds disability-related supports, not everyday living expenses.

🤔 In some circumstances, yes.

The NDIS generally expects supports to be provided by external workers or providers. However, family members may be funded in exceptional circumstances when it is considered reasonable and necessary, and there are no suitable alternatives available.

 Your provider should monitor funding usage with you and discuss any concerns early.

Planning ahead can help avoid service interruptions. Support can also be sought from your Support Coordinator, Local Area Coordinator (LAC), or NDIS Planner to explore available options and future funding needs.
