The NDIS and the health system split the bill and it helps to know which is which.

The NDIS funds disability-related supports (like therapies, early intervention and support workers to help you get to appointments), where they're reasonable and necessary for your disability.

The health system (Medicare, hospitals, private health) covers medical treatment: doctor's visits, medicines, surgery and treatment for illness or injury.

The line can occasionally feel blurry. For example, disability-related health supports (like continence or wound care linked to your disability) can be NDIS-funded. If you're not sure which side of the line something falls on, email us at hello@providerchoice.com.au and we'll help you work it out.
