Does the NDIS Fund Sneaker Cleaning Services?

For individuals with disabilities, maintaining clean and functional footwear is essential for comfort, mobility, and overall health. If you’re wondering whether the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) covers sneaker cleaning services, the answer depends on your individual plan, funding arrangements, and the support goals outlined within your NDIS plan.

Understanding NDIS Funding for Daily Living Needs

The NDIS provides funding to support participants in achieving their goals and improving their quality of life. Under the Core Supports category, participants may be eligible for assistance with everyday activities, including personal care, household tasks, and mobility support. Sneaker cleaning services could be considered part of this if they contribute to your daily living needs.

Eligibility for Sneaker Cleaning Services

While sneaker cleaning isn’t explicitly listed in NDIS categories, it may be covered if:
It aligns with your goals: For example, if maintaining clean sneakers helps with your hygiene, mobility, or social participation.
It’s considered reasonable and necessary: This means the service must be related to your disability and provide value for money.
It promotes independence: Clean and comfortable sneakers can reduce the risk of foot health issues, enabling you to remain active and independent.

Participants with self-managed or plan-managed NDIS plans have greater flexibility in accessing services like sneaker cleaning.
