Will the NDIS fund sport and exercise activities?

The NDIS won't pay for the things any club member pays like fees, uniforms or standard equipment. But it can fund the disability-related supports that make sport and exercise possible for you.

That can include:

  • A support worker to help you attend and participate
  • Exercise physiology, where it relates to managing your disability
  • Specialised equipment, like a sports wheelchair, where it's reasonable and necessary

So the question isn't "will the NDIS fund my sport?" - it's "what support do I need because of my disability to take part?" Frame it that way at your planning meeting, connected to a goal like building fitness or community participation.
