We support NDIS participants, carers and support coordinators with information and access to a wide range of health, personal care and everyday support products that may be purchased using NDIS funding, depending on individual needs, plan goals and funding criteria.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian Government program that provides funding to people living with permanent and significant disability.
Its goal is simple — to help participants live more independently, safely and confidently in their everyday lives.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all system, the NDIS provides individual funding based on a person’s goals and support needs. This may include help with:
Daily personal activities
Health and wellbeing supports
Consumables and essential supplies
Assistive technology
Capacity building and skill development
The NDIS follows a clear process — here’s a quick breakdown.
Create Your NDIS Plan
Every participant has an individual NDIS plan based on their goals and support needs.
Your plan outlines what supports are considered reasonable and necessary to help you live more independently and safely. This may include daily personal care, consumables, assistive technology, and health-related supports.
Understand Your Funding
NDIS funding is usually divided into categories, such as Core Supports, Capacity Building, and Capital Supports
Many health and personal care products fall under Core – Consumables, depending on your individual plan.
Choose Your Plan Management
You can choose how your funding is managed:
Self-Managed – You pay and claim back yourself Plan-Managed – A plan manager pays suppliers for you NDIA-Managed – The NDIA pays registered providers directly
The way your plan is managed determines how payments are processed when ordering products.
Purchase Approved Supports
Once you know what your plan covers, you can purchase supports that align with your goals.
If you’re self-managed or plan-managed, you can choose your preferred suppliers. We provide clear tax invoices and fast dispatch to make the process simple and stress-free.
Understanding NDIS Funding Categories
NDIS funding is divided into three main support budgets. Each category is designed to help participants in different ways — from everyday essentials to long-term independence and specialised equipment.
Core Supports
Core Supports help with everyday activities and daily living. This is the most flexible funding category and often includes consumables and essential supplies.
Depending on your plan, this may cover items such as:
Personal care products
Continence supplies
Infection control products
Respiratory supports
Other everyday health-related essentials
Many of the products we stock may fall under this category when aligned with your individual goals.
Capacity Building
Capacity Building funding is designed to help participants develop skills, independence, and confidence over time.
This may include:
Therapies
Training
Supports that improve communication, learning, mobility, or overall wellbeing
In some cases, assistive tools or technology that support skill development may fall within this category. The focus here is long-term improvement and increased independence.
Capital Supports
Capital Supports funding is typically used for higher-cost assistive technology, equipment, home or vehicle modifications.
This category may include:
Mobility aids
Specialised equipment
Assistive devices that support daily functioning and safety
Capital items usually require quotes and approval as part of your NDIS plan.
Types of NDIS-Suitable Products We Stock
We stock a wide range of health, hygiene and everyday support products that may align with NDIS funding — depending on your individual plan and goals.
Personal Care & Hygiene
Products that support daily living, comfort and dignity.
This collection includes items for skin care, hygiene maintenance, wound care, and general wellbeing to assist with everyday routines safely and confidently.
NDIS policies, funding categories and eligibility requirements may change over time. We do not guarantee that all products listed are claimable under every plan. Please consult your Plan Manager, Support Coordinator, or refer to official NDIS guidance to confirm suitability for your individual circumstances.

We recommend speaking with your plan manager, support coordinator or the NDIA to confirm the best way to access the supports you need.
