How Is Medication Management Support Funded Through the NDIS?
Medication management support under the National Disability Insurance Scheme is funded when it is considered a reasonable and necessary support linked to a participant’s disability-related health needs. This funding helps participants safely manage their prescribed medications as part of their daily living support.
Included in Core Supports
Medication assistance is usually funded under Core Supports (Assistance with Daily Life) when a person needs help with medication prompts, administration, or monitoring.
Disability-Related Need
Funding is provided only when medication support is directly related to the participant’s disability and is outlined in their approved NDIS plan by a qualified assessor or healthcare professional.
