- The NDIS does not fund daily living expenses, such as rent, food and bills. This is still funded by your usual source of income – work, disability pensions etc.
- When you apply for the NDIS, you will be asked to attend a planning meeting, where you will be able to discuss your needs and goals and talk about how you would like to benefit from the NDIS.
