“Reasonable & Necessary” – what does it really mean?

The NDIS will usually fund a support only if it:
• Is directly related to your disability (not an everyday cost)
• Helps with your goals
• Supports your social or work/study life
• Is value for money
• Is effective and beneficial for your needs
• Works alongside, not instead of, family/carer support
• Is something the NDIS is allowed to fund under the rules

At Braveheart Plan Managers, we check these points with every invoice so your funding is used safely and wisely.

Not sure if something is claimable?

What does “Reasonable & Necessary” actually mean in the NDIS?

If you’ve ever wondering about this – or you’re not sure what you can use your funding for – read more.
The NDIS uses 7 key tests to decide if a support is reasonable and necessary.
All 7 need to be met:

1️⃣ It’s related to your disability
There has to be a clear link between the support and your disability – not just an everyday cost everyone has (like groceries, rent, normal furniture, etc.).

2️⃣ It helps you work towards your goals
It should make it easier for you to move towards the goals in your plan (or your overall progress), even if it doesn’t match one single goal perfectly.

3️⃣ It supports your social or economic participation
Will it help you get out in the community, see people, study, volunteer or work? The NDIS looks at how the support removes barriers so you can take part more fully in life.

4️⃣ It’s value for money
Is the cost reasonable compared with other options?
Could paying for this now avoid bigger costs later?
Is there a more cost-effective way?

5️⃣ It’s effective and beneficial
The support should actually help you – based on good practice and evidence for people with similar needs – not just sound nice on paper.

6️⃣ It complements your informal supports
The NDIS looks at what’s reasonable for family, carers and the community to provide, and what goes beyond that. NDIS doesn’t replace parents, partners or friends – it adds support around them.

7️⃣ It’s something the NDIS is allowed to fund
Some things are on the “NDIS supports” list, and some things are clearly “not NDIS supports”. Even if something helps, the NDIS can only fund it if it fits the rules.

At Braveheart Plan Managers, we use these 7 tests every day when we look at invoices and reimbursement requests. Our job is to help you:

✅ Understand why something can or can’t be claimed
✅ Use your Core and Capacity Building funding with confidence
✅ Avoid rejected claims down the track

If you’re ever unsure whether a support is reasonable and necessary for your plan, send it through and we’ll happily take a look and explain it to you.

With Braveheart you get:
🔹 Personalised support, not a call centre
🔹 Transparent tracking of your budgets
🔹 Fast, accurate invoice payments
🔹 Guidance from experienced, CPA-qualified professionals

If you want a real relationship with your plan manager, not just a portal login, we’d love to support you.

Big NDIS planning changes are coming from mid-2026 ⚠️

From mid-2026, the NDIS will start moving to a new way of planning called “new framework planning”. The idea is to make plans fairer, more consistent and easier to understand for participants.

Instead of relying so much on different reports and assessments, there will be a new support needs assessment, where a trained assessor has a structured conversation with you about your life and the supports you actually need. Your NDIS budget will then be built from that assessment using a person-centred, strengths-based tool (I-CAN v6).

Some key points for participants:
✅ Plans are expected to be simpler and more flexible
✅ Budgets will be split into stated supports and a flexible budget you can use more broadly
✅ Plans should last longer, meaning fewer scheduled reviews and more stability
✅ The changes will be gradual – many people won’t move to the new system straight away

At Braveheart Plan Managers, our role is to:
- Stay across every NDIS update for you
- Explain changes in plain English
- Help you use your plan confidently – whether you’re in the current system or move to a new framework plan

If you’re feeling unsure about what this might mean for you or a family member, we’re here to help.
📩 Send us a DM or give us a call on (07) 56639671 – we’re happy to talk it through.

- Keep an eye on your budgets
- Check invoices against the latest NDIS price limits
- Explain what any changes mean for your supports

NDIS changes are here – but you don’t have to navigate them alone

The NDIS has recently upgraded its computer system and provider portal, and updated the 2025–26 Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.

What does this mean for you as a participant?

👉 Your rights to choose and change your plan manager have not changed.
👉 Plan managers now get better visibility of your plan and budget, plus notifications when your funding is updated – so we can spot issues early and keep your supports running smoothly.
NDIS.
👉 Updated pricing rules help set clearer limits for supports like therapies, community participation and assistive technology – but they can also be confusing to read.

At Braveheart Plan Managers, our job is to:

Translate NDIS jargon into plain language
Check that provider invoices follow the latest price limits
Monitor your budgets and let you know if anything looks off
Work with you so your funding is used in the best way to reach your goals

If you’re wondering “Do these changes affect my plan or supports?”, we’re here to talk it through with you.

📞 Call us or visit braveheart.net.au to find out how we can support you under the new NDIS system.
