Using NDIS Funding for Oral Care Aids

Whether a toothbrush can be purchased with NDIS funding depends on the participant's individual circumstances. Arco cannot approve or guarantee funding for a purchase.

The safest approach is to check the plan, the reason for the purchase and any plan-manager or support-coordinator requirements before ordering.

Questions to check first

• Is the product related to the participant's disability support needs?
• Does it support daily living or personal-care routines?
• Is it reasonable and necessary for that participant?
• Is there an appropriate plan category and available budget?
• Does the plan manager need a quote, invoice or product information?

Self-managed and plan-managed purchases

Self-managed participants may purchase directly and keep their records, but should still make sure the item fits their plan and support needs.

Plan-managed participants may need to speak with their plan manager before purchasing. Some plan managers may request product information, an invoice, or a quote.

Arco purchase support

Arco can provide product information and invoice/manual process support where needed. The final funding decision sits with the participant, plan manager, support coordinator or relevant NDIS decision-maker.
