To be eligible for NDIS-funded meal delivery, you must be a participant in the NDIS with funding in your Core Supports budget under “Assistance with Daily Life.” You may qualify if you are unable to shop for groceries or prepare meals due to a disability. This service must be deemed reasonable and necessary in your NDIS plan. You can speak with your NDIS planner, Local Area Coordinator (LAC), or support coordinator to check your eligibility.

NDIS covers the cost of meal preparation and delivery, but participants are typically required to pay for the raw ingredient cost—this is known as a co-payment. The out-of-pocket expense is usually around 30–40% of the total meal cost, which varies between providers. Most providers make this payment process easy by clearly listing the subsidised cost at checkout or during onboarding.

To include meal delivery in your NDIS plan, speak with your LAC, NDIS planner, or support coordinator. You’ll need to demonstrate that you’re unable to shop or cook meals safely due to your disability. If approved, this support will be included under your Core Supports budget. You can then choose a registered or unregistered meal provider that suits your needs and arrange delivery directly or via your plan manager.
