DOES THE NDIS PROVIDE FUNDING FOR DIABETES CARE?

- Diabetes Care
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded programme that provides assistance and funding to people with permanent and significant disabilities.The NDIS can support diabetics, but only if their condition has resulted in a permanent disability. Diabetes is considered a disease and not a disability, so it does not qualify for NDIS funding on its own. It is intended to assist people with disabilities in achieving their goals and living more independently. This includes providing access to funding for medical and therapeutic services, equipment, and other support for people living with disability. The NDIS can also provide Epilepsy Plan for people with epilepsy in a variety of ways.
Below are some Support Services For Diabetes that can be funded by the NDIS under Diabetes Management Support
- Providing a nurse to develop a disability-related diabetes management plan that explains the assistance required for a Participant to follow your Diabetes Care Plan.
- Diabetes management training for support workers.
- A support worker to monitor glucose levels and administer insulin or other diabetes medication to the Participant.
- The health-care system does not provide participants with access to assistive technology to help them manage their diabetes.
- an initial consultation
- a nurse to write the plan
- a nurse to review the plan and make any necessary changes
- The assistive technology will reduce the need for other supports, such as a support worker or nurse; and
- It will help the participant be more independent due to a participant’s diabetes due to disability.
- The participant must provide evidence to the NDIS that meets the NDIS funding criteria.
