Acquired brain injury (ABI) is recognised as a disability when it significantly impacts a person’s ability to carry out daily tasks and live independently. Individuals with acquired brain injury may be eligible for NDIS funding if their condition is permanent or likely to be long-term, and it substantially reduces their functional capacity. In Australia, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides a vital framework of support for individuals living with ABI. One key aspect of the NDIS approach is the creation of personalised support plans, designed to address unique needs, promote independence, and enhance overall well-being.

The fundamental principle of the NDIS is its focus on person-centred planning. Every participant has unique needs, preferences, and circumstances—especially when it comes to recovering from an acute brain injury. A personalised support plan recognises these individual differences and ensures that services are arranged in a way that maximises each participant’s potential. A key step in securing NDIS funding is to provide clear and detailed evidence of how your acquired brain injury impacts your daily life and capacity. This documentation often includes your medical reports and evaluations from experts regarding your functional capacity. When developing a personalised support plan for ABI recovery, the NDIS funds a variety of services that promote independence and improved quality of life. Some commonly funded supports available to eligible participants include specialist support
coordination, assistance with daily living, capacity building support, therapeutic supports and access to assistive technology. Once approved for an NDIS plan, many participants find it helpful to work with a support coordinator.




A support coordinator can guide you through the process of understanding and implementing the funded supports in your plan. They will also help you to make sure that the supports available to you are reviewed and updated according to your changing needs.

If you or a loved one is living with an ABI, exploring eligibility for NDIS funding and partnering with the right team of professionals can set the foundation for a meaningful and successful recovery process.
