How do I determine my eligibility for subsidised meals?Updated 2 years ago

To be eligible for home-delivered meals, your NDIS plan needs to include 'Daily Activities' in your Core Supports, or have a stated line item for 'Assistance with the cost of the preparation and delivery of meals 01_023_0120_1_1'.

From 1 March 2022, the NDIA will no longer require quotes for meal preparation and delivery. Participants who have core support funding specified for meal preparation and delivery, including for support workers to undertake shopping and meal preparation support, will be able to claim meal preparation and delivery as an alternative to support worker via this mechanism.

This new support item does not require a quote, is not a stated support, and can be used where it has been specified as a reasonable and necessary support in a participant’s plan with core funding available.

The pre-existing support item (01_022_0120_1_1) will allow participants to continue to claim where the item is quotable and stated in a participant’s plan.


If you're still not sure, get in touch with your support coordinator or plan manager. We're also here to help if you have further questions about your eligibility. Just email us at [email protected].
