Decision Making Tool

Our “Decision Making Tool for Everyday Items / Consumables Up To $1500” has been designed to make purchases using NDIS Funds that little bit easier. From consumables through to everyday items, the NDIS need to see evidence that the purchase will aid and/or assist you in your everyday life. When the form is submitted it goes straight to our Plan Mentor team to action. If any details need to be clarified, they will reach out.

WHY WE RECOMMEND YOU COMPLETE THIS CHECKLIST

This Decision tool will be held on your file with the purchase of consumable items or services that may be identified as everyday items. This evidence is required in the event that the NDIA requests proof to support your purchase of these everyday items through your NDIS funding. We also suggest obtaining an Allied Health Practitioner letter of recommendation to support your purchase. Additionally, it is recommended to obtain written approval from your NDIS planner as it ensures transparency and establishes a clear record of their approval for the purchase.

YPM’S ROLE IN YOUR DECISION MAKING

Our role is to support you to make well-informed decisions around how to spend funds in your NDIS plan. We can provide assistance in understanding your funding, so it lasts for the duration of your plan. We are here to support you.

We will ensure you understand:

• How this purchase may impact your NDIS funding in relation to ongoing support and services already in place
• The NDIA may conduct compliance reviews on purchases made from your NDIS plan and will generally request supporting documentation.
