What are NDIS consumables

NDIS consumables are daily items required to help manage personal disability related needs. These items fall into the NDIS core support category.

The NDIS consumables budget is flexible and can include a range of products that help you with your daily life and activities. If you find that your everyday activities and goals change, you may reduce or increase the amount of support you receive for consumables and swap to support for other categories such as assistance with your daily life, assistance to participate in social and community activities or for transport.

Purchasing wound care with your NDIS budget

Did you know that you may be able to purchase your wound care supports with funding from your NDIS consumables budget? If your wound care or pressure injury management is directly related to your ongoing disability support, then the NDIS may be the most appropriate funding body to provide support. To be eligible for this, you’ll need to provide the NDIS with a wound care plan which details what supports your doctor recommends for your disability support needs when you are creating your NDIS plan.
