Supports deemed “reasonable and necessary” under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) are those essential for individuals with disabilities to achieve their goals and enhance their overall well-being. These supports are tailored to address the specific needs arising from a participant’s permanent and significant disability. The term encompasses a wide range of services, including but not limited to healthcare, assistive technologies, education, and community engagement. The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) evaluates the necessity of each support based on its effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and alignment with the participant’s individual goals outlined in their NDIS Plan. Reasonable and necessary supports aim to maximize the participant’s independence and social participation, enabling them to lead a fulfilling life despite their disabilities. Regular reviews ensure that the supports remain aligned with the participant’s evolving needs and aspirations.
