Disability Related Health Supports | FOI document library

Disability Related Health Supports (DRHS) are health supports a participant may require due to their disability. In accordance with section 34(1)(f) of the NDIS Act, the Agency needs to determine whether a support for a participant is most appropriately funded or provided by the NDIS.

The NDIS is responsible for supports relating to a person’s ongoing functional impairment that allows the person to undertake activities of daily living. This includes maintenance supports delivered or supervised by clinically trained or qualified health practitioners, where these are linked to the care and support a person requires to live in the community and participate in education and employment (NDIS (Supports for Participants) Rules).

The disability related health supports arrangements are likely to apply to any participant that requires disability-related health supports as outlined in the Disability-Related Health Supports Operational Guideline.
