• Follow-up medical supports for young children in their home after a medical event or premature birth, such as nursing care and medical supplies

What are we responsible for?

We’re responsible for NDIS supports that help you go about your daily life and are related to your disability support needs, which you need on an ongoing or regular basis.24

This includes maintenance NDIS supports which are given or supervised by qualified healthcare staff. These are ongoing supports that help you keep your body’s functions and abilities. This could include long-term therapy or support to improve your abilities over time or stop things from getting worse.

We’re responsible for these maintenance NDIS supports if:

• the support is directly related to your disability-related impairments that impact your functional capacity – the things you can and can’t do because of your disability
• you also need the support so you can continue to live in the community, study or work.

Remember, NDIS supports must meet all the NDIS funding criteria before we can include them in your plan.

Examples of supports that may be NDIS supports for you

• Supports to help you live at home, such as personal care supports,25 help to learn how to manage your personal care,26 and home modifications27
• Regular therapy that’s directly related to the things you can and can’t do because of your disability28 – for example, occupational therapy, physiotherapy or speech pathology
• Help to plan the ongoing disability-specific supports you’ll need, after you’re discharged from a hospital or other inpatient health service29
• Prosthetics and orthotics that relate to your disability30 – artificial limbs and aids to help make your arms, legs, and other body parts stronger, such as leg braces
• Hearing and vision supports that relate to your disability support needs31
• Training, delegation and supervision of care for disability-related health supports32 – that is, a registered nurse may train an enrolled nurse, support worker or informal supports, and provide periodic supervision and oversight

• Communication or behaviour support when you’re going to a health service, or go to hospital but are not admitted as an inpatient33
• Training for hospital staff in your disability-specific needs if you’re admitted in hospital as an inpatient34
• Training for support workers to respond to your complex care needs35
• Assistive technology to help you be as independent as possible at home and in the community, including for disability-related health supports such as catheter changes36
• Regular supports you need for your disability, if you’re already a participant and start receiving palliative or end-of-life care – these supports can work alongside the palliative care you get from the health system37
• Assessment by health professionals to help us plan and think about your disability support needs38
• Help to plan and coordinate your supports if you need both health and disability services – this could be an early childhood partner, local area coordinator or support coordinator39

Example

Sami is quite sick and is taken to hospital. The hospital staff say he needs to be admitted to hospital for a few days. Sami uses a communication device to help him speak with the hospital staff.

The health system should provide all the support he needs for his illness. For example, hospital staff may do medical tests, provide medicine, and perform any surgery Sami needs.

The health system may also have a follow-up appointment a few weeks after he leaves hospital, to make sure he is well. The health system should provide any rehabilitation Sami needs to recover from the illness.

We may fund NDIS supports to make sure the hospital staff understand Sami’s disability support needs. For example, we may fund a support worker to handover communication information, and help staff learn how Sami uses his communication device. This will help the hospital staff better understand and meet Sami’s support needs during his stay.

Mental health and psychosocial disability

If you have a psychosocial disability, you may need regular or ongoing mental health treatment services.

• Hospital in the home services – admitted acute care services provided in your home, similar to what you get in a hospital

What are we responsible for?

We’re responsible for NDIS supports that focus on your functional ability and long-term recovery that are not clinical.48 That is, we may fund NDIS supports to help with the things you can and can’t do due to your disability.49

If you have a mental illness or psychosocial disability, we’re responsible for NDIS supports that help you:50

• do activities of daily living – that is, go about your daily life
• take part in your community, your social life, study and work
• regain and rebuild skills and confidence in your usual activities of daily living.

Remember, NDIS supports must meet all the NDIS funding criteria before we can include them in your plan.

Examples of supports that may be NDIS supports for you

• Skill development, such as capacity building supports to learn everyday life skills, manage your money, plan your day and make decisions, where you need this support because of your disability51
• Social skills development,52 such as capacity building supports that help you manage social relationships, take part in social skills day programs, or connect to people and places in your community
• Social and recreation support,53 if you need help to join social activities, sporting clubs or community groups
• Help to find somewhere to live and to manage your rental or home ownership responsibilities, where you need this support because of your disability54
• Support from allied health professionals, like psychologists or mental health occupational therapists, who are directly related to helping you manage or reduce the functional impact of your psychosocial disability.55 This could include social and communication skills development, regular help with medication and symptoms, and behaviour intervention and support
• Help to plan and coordinate your NDIS supports with your mental health supports, such as a psychosocial recovery coach or support coordinator56
• Help to transition to a new life stage, including hospital discharge, where you need this support because of your disability57

Example

Alan lives with his friend. He is studying part-time and enjoys caring for his pets.

Over the last couple of months, Alan needed more supports than usual, and was living in an inpatient hospital setting. He’s now looking forward to going back home and living independently, studying again, reconnecting with his friends, and spending more time in his community.

The mental health system should provide Alan with clinical supports that focus on treatment, provided through his engagement with his psychologist and psychiatrist.

The mental health system should also provide the supports Alan needs to transition back to his home from the inpatient facility. This may include a clinical case manager, who has regular contact with Alan.

Disclosure Log

Alan may use the NDIS supports in his plan to help him with his daily life and spend more time in the community. For example, Alan could ask his psychosocial recovery coach to join discussions with Alan and his clinical team. Together, they can plan for the supports he’ll need when he moves back home.

This helps Alan to engage with his treatment and supports based on his goals and treatment. It also means Alan has other NDIS supports in his plan that he can use alongside his clinical supports.

We may also fund capacity building NDIS supports that Alan needs for his disability after he moves home, and that help Alan with his goal to live independently. For example, we could fund NDIS supports to help Alan set up a new cooking and cleaning routine, as well as NDIS supports to help Alan with personal care.

We may also fund NDIS supports for allied health services, such as occupational therapy. This can help Alan learn skills to live independently and build his capacity to participate in his community. Alongside his NDIS supports, he can continue to get support from his psychologist and psychiatrist funded by the mental health system.

Hospital discharge

We want you to be able to leave hospital as soon as possible.

We have health liaison officers and a hospital discharge team to support you to leave hospital. If you’re a participant, or if you might be eligible for the NDIS, our health liaison officers work with you and your health team during your hospital stay.

They’ll work together to make sure you have the supports you need to leave hospital when you’re medically ready to leave.

NDIS health liaison officers work with hospital staff to support you and to understand what support you need when you leave hospital. The hospital will assign a dedicated contact person, called a health lead, to work with the NDIS health liaison officer.

What do health liaison officers do?

NDIS health liaison officers work with health leads on a case-by-case basis. With your consent, they’ll discuss:

• how long you’ve been in hospital
• why you went into hospital
• when you’ll be ready to leave hospital

Disclosure Log

• your health and disability support needs
• any changes to your disability support needs
• any further information we might need.

The health liaison officer can support you with applying to the NDIS and work with you and the health lead on your NDIS application. If you’re a participant, they can help organise a change to your plan, if needed.

What is the health system responsible for?

The health system will:

• tell us you’ve been admitted to hospital
• provide us with a dedicated contact person at the hospital
• make a plan for you to leave hospital
• provide assessments and evidence of your support needs
• tell us when you’re likely to be ready to leave hospital
• make sure it’s safe for you to leave hospital
• work with your support coordinator to connect you with mainstream supports.

What are we responsible for?

If you’re already a participant, we’ll:

• contact you, or your nominee or guardian, within 4 days of being told you’re in hospital
• contact your health lead within 4 days of being told you’re in hospital
• make sure you have a health liaison officer allocated to you to assist with your situation, as well as connecting you with a planner
• get your consent to share information with the health system
• identify the supports you need when you leave hospital
• approve changes to your plan within 30 days, using evidence from your hospital discharge summary.

If you’re not a participant, and you want to apply to the NDIS, we’ll:

• help you apply to the NDIS. We’ll make an access decision within 7 days of receiving the information we need
• work with you to develop your NDIS plan. If you’re eligible for the NDIS, we’ll approve your NDIS plan within 30 days.

What happens if you’re already a participant?

If you’re a participant, the hospital staff will contact us and let us know you’re in hospital. They’ll ask you for your consent to share information with us. We’ll also ask for your consent to share information with the hospital if you haven’t already provided this. This is so we can talk to the hospital about planning for your discharge.

We’ll contact you, or your nominee or guardian, within 4 days of being told you’re in hospital. If your disability support needs have changed and you need a change to your plan so you can be discharged from hospital, the NDIS health liaison officer can arrange this. Learn more about changing your plan.

If the NDIS health liaison officer needs additional information to support a change to your plan, they’ll ask your health lead for this information.

When we change your plan, a planner from the hospital discharge team will have a planning meeting with you, your nominee or guardian. In most situations, your new plan will be approved within 30 days from when we’re told you’re in hospital. Sometimes, because of your situation, and the gathering of reports and evidence about your support needs, it may take longer to approve the changes to your plan. If the changes to your plan might take longer than 30 days to approve, your planner will talk about this with you.

The changes to your plan will focus on the NDIS supports you need to return home. For example, personal care supports, additional support coordination, assistive technology and home and living supports. Supports we fund in this plan must meet the NDIS funding criteria. If you need home and living supports added to your plan, the NDIS health liaison officer will support you to explore what home and living NDIS supports are right for you. They’ll also help you get the evidence we need to decide what home and living NDIS supports to include in your plan.

Sometimes medium term accommodation can help you move out of hospital sooner and into your long-term home. For example, you might be medically ready to be discharged from hospital but not able to move home until your home modifications are completed. Or you might be waiting for your specialist disability accommodation to become available. Learn more about medium term accommodation following hospital discharge.

If your discharge date changes, your health lead will contact the NDIS health liaison officer to talk about any concerns.

What happens if you’re not a participant?

If you’re not a participant and you might be eligible for the NDIS, the hospital staff and the health liaison officer will help you apply to the NDIS.

Once you give us the information we need, we’ll decide if you’re eligible for the NDIS within 7 days of receiving the information. If you’re eligible for the NDIS, we’ll create your plan with you and make sure it’s approved within 30 days.

Early childhood development

Early childhood development is about how young children grow and develop.

The early childhood development and care sector can include:

• government departments responsible for childcare and early learning
• childcare and early learning centres
• family day care programs
• playgroups
• early learning programs.

When we say reasonable adjustment, this means reasonable changes that services need to make so they’re accessible for people with disability.

What is the early childhood development supports are not NDIS supports?

The early childhood development sector is responsible for meeting the early childhood education and care needs that all children should have access to, including children with developmental delay or disability.58

Sometimes children may need inclusion supports to help them join early childhood learning and care settings.59 These supports are specifically to help children use services that all young children are entitled to access, such as school readiness programs to help children prepare for school.60

Examples of early childhood supports that are not NDIS supports

• Early childhood supports or therapies for a child’s general development, when they aren’t specific to a child’s developmental delay or disability61
• Childcare fees, day care or informal care arrangements, including for specialist or segregated childcare service models62
• Help so children can take part in an early childhood education and care service. This may include using strategies to support a child’s behaviour, learning assistance, modified computer hardware, education software or braille books
• Reasonable adjustments to access an early childhood facility, such as ramps, lifts, hearing loops, or other capital works63
• Teaching aids or supports related to education64
• Building modifications, including fixed or non-transportable equipment and aids within an early childhood facility, such as hoists65
• Transport to take children out on learning activities, such as excursions
• Case coordination that’s mainly related to early childhood supports

What are we responsible for?

We’re responsible for NDIS supports that are specific to a child’s developmental delay or disability. This might be if a child needs more support than other children of a similar age, and more support than what early childhood services must provide as a reasonable adjustment.66

This includes early intervention supports that children need to help build their skills, because of their developmental delay or disability. We may fund NDIS supports that are both:

• focused on improving a child’s daily living skills, such as communicating with those around them, participating in social activities, and completing self-care tasks such as dressing67
• likely to increase a child’s independence and reduce how much NDIS support a child needs in the future. For example, with a series or mix of different supports68

Remember, NDIS supports must meet all the NDIS funding criteria before we can include them in your plan.

Early childhood partners deliver a nationally consistent early childhood approach. Our early childhood approach is for children younger than 6 with developmental delay or younger than

9 with disability. Children younger than 6 who don’t fully meet the definition of developmental delay and have developmental concerns will also be supported through the early childhood approach.

Early connections are part of our nationally consistent early childhood approach to support children younger than 9 and their families. They’re funded by the NDIS and available when you have concerns about your child’s development, or if your child has a disability. Your child doesn’t need to be an NDIS participant. They can get help with early connections even if they don’t have a diagnosis.

Learn more about the early childhood approach and early connections.

Examples of supports that may be NDIS supports for your child

• Early intervention therapies that help children with developmental delay or disability to increase their level of functioning69
• Specialist support and training for early childhood and care staff about a child’s specific disability or developmental delay needs70
• Assistive technology children may need, such as wheelchairs or personal communication devices71
• Personal care supports in early childhood centres for children who need more support than what early childhood centres should provide. This may include specialist help with feeding, or managing airways or ventilation72
• Specialist support to help children transition to school, where it’s more than what early childhood and education systems provide73
• Support to manage any behaviours of concern children may have because of their developmental delay or disability74

Example

Rose is 4 years old and will be starting childcare soon at the local childcare centre. Rose uses a wheelchair to move around. Rose’s parents want her to be able to join in the same activities as similarly aged children at the centre.

The childcare centre should provide any reasonable adjustments to the building to help Rose move easily in, out and around the childcare centre. This might include things such as ramps or lifts. The childcare centre should also make their programs accessible, so Rose can fully participate in her wheelchair.

We may fund training for the childcare centre staff to help them better understand Rose’s support needs. This could include training for staff on how Rose uses the toilet.

Child protection and family support

Child protection and family support services help keep children safe, and help families care for their children.

When we say ‘child protection system’, we mean the state and territory governments who are responsible for child guardianship, child protection services and other supports that keep children and families safe.

When we say ‘family support’, we mean the community services available to children and families.

When we say ‘statutory home-based out-of-home care’, this is where:

• a state or territory government determines a child can’t live in their family home
• the child now lives in a foster or kinship carer’s home
• the state or territory government pays for the expenses of caring for the child.

What child protection and family support system supports are not NDIS supports?

• Child protection services for families who have entered, or are at risk of entering, the statutory child protection system75
• General parenting programs, counselling or other supports for families at risk of entering the child protection system, and to the broader community. This includes adjusting these programs to make them suitable for families with disability76
• For children in out-of-home care, supports that other children at a similar age and in similar out-of-home care arrangements need, including respite and other support for carers77
• Travel or accommodation for parents visiting their children who are in out-of-home care78
• Guardian services for children or adults79
• General family therapy,80 parenting programs81 or marriage and relationship counselling82

• Community awareness of children’s safety and wellbeing
• Therapy supports for children in out-of-home care related to any trauma they have experienced, unless the therapy is directly related to the child’s developmental delay or disability

What are we responsible for when it comes to children in out-of-home care?

For children in out-of-home care, we’re responsible for NDIS supports that are specific to the child’s developmental delay or disability. This means we’re responsible for the extra supports children need because of their developmental delay or disability, compared to other children of a similar age and in similar out-of-home care arrangements.84

Out-of-home care arrangements are different across Australia. The NDIS supports we fund in out-of-home care arrangements will reflect each child’s individual needs and situation.

Governments across Australia agree on who funds different supports for children in out-of-home care arrangements. You can find more information about these Disability Reform Ministers Meetings agreements on the Department of Social Services website.

Remember, NDIS supports must meet all the NDIS funding criteria before we can include them in your plan.

Examples of supports that may be NDIS supports for children in out-of-home care

• Personal care support outside school hours,85 where the child needs much more support than other children of the same age due to their disability
• Skill-building supports, such as learning daily life skills, communication skills and social skills86
• Short breaks or respite to sustain caring arrangements in statutory home-based out-of-home care, where the child and carers need this because of the child’s developmental delay or disability87
• In-home support for carers in statutory home-based out-of-home care, where children need this support due to their developmental delay or disability
• Home modifications when living in a long-term home in a family-like setting88
• Therapy89 and behaviour support90 related to a child’s disability
• Assistive technology91

What are we responsible for when it comes to children who aren’t in out-of-home care?

We’re responsible for NDIS supports that families need as a direct result of a child’s developmental delay or disability. These NDIS supports can also help families and carers sustainably maintain their caring role. These may include NDIS supports such as:92

• social and recreation support
• therapy and behaviour supports
• short breaks or respite
• assistive technology.

Remember, NDIS supports must meet all the NDIS funding criteria before we can include them in your plan.

Examples of supports that may be NDIS supports for children who aren’t in out-of-home care

• Disability-specific parent and carer training programs if a child has developmental delay or disability, or if a parent has a disability
• Short breaks or respite to support families to care for their children, and where children and families need this because of the child’s developmental delay or disability93
• Support to plan and coordinate supports related to the child’s developmental delay or disability, including those provided through child protection and family support services94

What about short breaks or respite for children in statutory home-based out-of-home care?

State and territory governments provide short breaks or respite for carers of children in statutory home-based out-of-home care. They’re responsible for short breaks or respite for all children in out-of-home care, with or without disability.

We may also fund short breaks or respite for children with a disability in statutory home-based out-of-home care. We can do this if you need the short breaks or respite because of the child’s developmental delay or disability, and it meets the NDIS funding criteria.

If you’re eligible for both types of short breaks or respite, you can use both of them. You can also choose which type you want to use first.

Example

Mai is 10 years old and lives in statutory home-based out-of-home care. She has been living with her foster carers for 3 years. Mai has needed more disability support in recent months, and her home-based placement is at risk of breaking down.

The child protection system should provide supports to Mai and her foster carers to help the placement continue. This includes short breaks or respite with another foster family for one weekend a month, which gives Mai and her carers a temporary break from the usual care arrangement. The child protection system should also provide therapy supports for any trauma that Mai has experienced.

We may fund NDIS supports that Mai and her foster carers need because of the impact of her increased disability needs. This could also include short breaks or respite if Mai needs this extra support because of her disability.

Example

Jin is about to start a new job. Jin’s new office will need some modifications, such as a modified workstation and chair, so they can do the job safely. Jin will also need support to get ready and to travel to work each day.

The employment system should provide any reasonable adjustments that Jin needs while at work. This includes any aids and workplace equipment, through the Employment Assistance Fund, which will help Jin to do their job.

Disability Employment Services should provide Jin and the employer with advice or support needed to help prepare for the new job. Disability Employment Services will continue to support both Jin and the employer for as long as is needed once Jin starts work.

We may fund NDIS supports that help Jin learn or keep their new job if the support is more than what Disability Employment Services should provide. This could include support to learn the job and to be productive.

We may fund a support worker to help Jin get dressed and ready for work each day. And we may fund training for Jin to support them to travel to and from work independently. In the longer term, we may support Jin to learn new skills and progress their career.

Example

Sid needs to urgently move out of his share house. He’s looking for a rental property to live by himself for the first time. He’s at risk of homelessness because he is on a low income. Due to his disability, he needs help to learn how to take care of his new home when he finds one.

Sid goes to his state housing authority for emergency help to find a place to live. The housing authority are responsible for providing Sid support to prevent him becoming homeless. They’ll help get Sid emergency short term accommodation and can help him find a home to rent longer term. They may also help with some of the cost of renting the home, such as rent assistance.

We may fund NDIS supports that Sid needs because of his disability support needs to help him live independently in his home. This could include support to help him go to rental inspections and learn to pay his bills on time.
