NDIS DIETITIAN & NURITIONIST FAQs
Does the NDIS Cover Support Provided by a Dietitian?
Yes, if your disability affects the type of nutrition you need and how you eat. This may mean you need help preparing food, eating enough, or understanding the nutrition you need.
In such cases, the NDIS may fund a suitably qualified dietitian to create and review your nutritional meal plan. Additionally, the NDIS may provide funding to train those who support your nutrition needs, such as family members, carers, or support workers.
