NDIS participants can now use funds for RATs

Participants can use their core funding to purchase RATs where it is required to access their reasonable and necessary supports.

Participants may also purchase rapid antigen tests for their support workers as needed to ensure they can safely receive supports, in line with AHPPC guidance.

This measure complements:

• The Commonwealth program to provide free antigen tests for concession cardholders will commence 24/01, which includes the majority of NDIS participants

• The temporary NDIS program enables eligible supported independent living participants and providers to claim up to $12.50 per rapid antigen test when a support worker is required to undergo COVID-19 testing to safely deliver supports to a participant.
