Using Your NDIS Funds to Purchase Our Bibs

Did you know you can purchase our bibs with NDIS funds?

Most babies will no longer need bibs from around 6 months, hence the reason most bibs on the market are very small, not very absorbent and made in babyish prints. But there are lots of kids with disabilities, that have a hard time managing their saliva. Able Collective bibs are specifically designed for these kids and now even teens and adults. Our age-appropriate unique design, ensures even the heaviest dribblers can keep their top dry while looking stylish. Depending on the participant and their plan they can claim funds through Core Consumables funding or Low Cost Assistive Technology.

How to purchase our bibs with your NDIS funds:

Add items to your cart and enter the participants name and NDIS Number on the cart page (see further instructions below).

Reimbursement: The quickest way to receive your items is to place your order through our website, making payment with a credit card or PayPal.

Checkout with a credit card or PayPal to secure your order. Download your invoice (see instructions below), either send your invoice to your plan manager, or upload the invoice to the NDIS portal or PACE to make a claim for the funds.

Can I use my funds for this?

Using NDIS funding to purchase our bibs will come down to the individual participant's plan. The participants age and disability will also determine if bibs are reasonable and necessary for the participant. If you're unsure speak to your support coordinator or therapists to confirm.

To determine what is reasonable and necessary for your child, refer to these key points from NDIS.

In order to be considered reasonable and necessary, a support or service:

  • must be related to a participant’s disability
  • must not include day-to-day living costs not related to your disability support needs, such as groceries
  • should represent value for money
  • must be likely to be effective and work for the participant, and
  • should take into account support given to you by other government services, your family, carers, networks and the community.
We are not an NDIS registered provider yet! However you can still order with us and we hope to be registered in future.

Disclosure

We do not guarantee that you can or cannot use your NDIS funding to purchase any items from our store. NDIS funding is unique to the participant and what is approved for one participant may not be for the next. Please always check with your support coordinator, LAP or therapists for clarification.
