Your Personal NDIS Support Checker
If you’re navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), you’ve likely faced one frustrating question: “Will the NDIS pay for this?” Whether it’s a therapy, piece of equipment, or a daily support, the rules can feel like a maze.
That’s where Will the NDIS Pay for It? tool comes in — a custom-built tool powered by ChatGPT to give you instant, evidence-backed answers to whether something is likely to be funded under the NDIS.
If you don’t have a ChatGPT account, you can sign up for free at the links below.
What It Does
This GPT is designed to:
Help you check if a support or service is likely to be funded.
Guide you through the NDIS access criteria.
Compare your request against real NDIS policy documents.
Ask the right follow-up questions to narrow down eligibility and purpose.
Backed by Over 800 Pages of NDIS Policy
This tool isn’t making it up as it goes — it’s powered by over 800 pages of official NDIS documentation, including:
The NDIS Act 2013
Operational Guidelines (e.g., Reasonable & Necessary Supports, Mainstream Interfaces)
List A & List B of medical conditions
NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits (2025–26)
Eligibility checklists
What the NDIS does and doesn’t fund (funded, not funded, replacement supports)
It uses the real documents to assess your question and provide reliable guidance you can reference in reports, applications, or discussions with planners.
✅ For Example…
You can ask things like:
“Will the NDIS pay for equine therapy?”
“Is ABA covered for a child with Level 2 autism?”
“Can I get a fridge through the NDIS?”
“What about driving lessons?”
And it won’t just say yes or no — it will walk through the criteria, such as:
Is the item related to the person’s disability?
Does it support goals or independence?
Is it cost-effective?
Is it the responsibility of a different system (e.g. health, education)?
⚠️ What It’s Not
This tool:
Doesn’t make funding decisions — that’s still the NDIA.
Doesn’t give legal or financial advice.
Doesn’t apply for you.
♀️ Who Should Use It?
Support coordinators
Allied health professionals
Parents and carers
NDIS participants
Plan nominees
Disability support workers
Why It Helps
The NDIS landscape can be confusing and inconsistent. This tool brings clarity, consistency, and confidence to your decision-making.
Have something in mind? Just ask: Will the NDIS pay for it? — and get the guidance you need to move forward.
