The NDIS has introduced a temporary measure to further support participants during the COVID-19 pandemic, with those in lockdown areas no longer needing to use their support funding to pay someone to cook and shop for them.
NDIS participants who are yet to have their COVID-19 vaccine are encouraged to do so as soon as possible. A COVID-19 vaccine will help to protect you, your family and people you care for.
Eligible NDIS providers, with workers who live or work within 12 Sydney local government areas, can now claim a payment to support their disability workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
