Schedule 1  Considerations relating to whether supports are most appropriately funded through the NDIS

    7.1 The Act limits the supports that can be provided or funded under the NDIS to supports that are not more appropriately funded or provided through other service systems, for example as part of a universal services obligation or in accordance with reasonable adjustments required under a law dealing with discrimination on the basis of disability.

    7.2 The considerations set out in this Schedule must be taken into account by the CEO in deciding whether a support is more appropriately provided or funded by the NDIS or another service system.

    7.3 For the avoidance of doubt, while this Schedule sets out considerations relevant to whether a support should be considered to be more appropriately provided or funded through another service system, it does not purport to impose any obligations on another service system to fund or provide particular supports.

Note: The considerations set out in this Schedule are derived from the Principles to determine the responsibilities of the NDIS and other service systems, agreed to by the Council of Australian Governments, and dated Friday 19 April 2013. That document also includes principles relating to aged care. They are not relevant to this Schedule, but are given effect to in section 19 of the Act, and the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Becoming a Participant) Rules 2013.

Health (excluding mental health)

    7.4 The NDIS will be responsible for supports related to a person's ongoing functional impairment and that enable the person to undertake activities of daily living, including maintenance supports delivered or supervised by clinically trained or qualified health practitioners where these are directly related to a functional impairment and integrally linked to the care and support a person requires to live in the community and participate in education and employment.

    7.5 The NDIS will not be responsible for:

(a) the diagnosis and clinical treatment of health conditions, including ongoing or chronic health conditions; or

(b) other activities that aim to improve the health status of Australians, including general practitioner services, medical specialist services, dental care, nursing, allied health services (including acute and post-acute services),
