Get your meals from Able Foods: worry-free meals
The NDIS has recently announced changes to which supports they will or won’t fund. But don’t worry – you can still enjoy our meals worry-free!
As Able Foods is a registered NDIS provider, we still meet the required criteria and we can continue delivering your meals to you. You can use your NDIS funding with Able Foods.
Recent NDIS funding support changes
The NDIA has recently announced that from 3 October 2024, NDIS participants will only be able to use their NDIS funds for items that are listed as approved supports.
The good news is that, as a registered NDIS provider, Able Foods already meets all the criteria for approved supports. This means that whether you’re a current customer or you’re new to Able Foods, you can be confident that our meals continue to be subsidised by the NDIS.
The updated policy guidelines state that the NDIS will fund meal preparation and delivery as a support that helps participants increase their ability to live as independently as possible. It will not fund groceries, fast food services, takeaway food, and food delivery platforms excluding those meal delivery platforms “where the food and ingredient component can be separately identified from the meal preparation and delivery component.”
Able Foods continues to be a registered NDIS meal provider. At Able Foods, our invoices already clearly set apart the costs of ingredients from the costs of meal preparation and delivery. We also split these costs into two separate invoices for clarity and convenience.
If you’re a current Able Foods customer, that means that you can continue to order meals as normal, with no interruption to your services.
If you’re an NDIS participant new to Able Foods, our meals can be co-funded through your NDIS plan under “Core Supports (Daily Activities) – Assistance with the cost of meal preparation and delivery of meals.” The NDIS will cover the cost of meal preparation and delivery, while you’ll pay for the meal ingredients.
