BUYING A BIKE WITH NDIS

At Melbourne Powered, we believe in empowering individuals with disabilities to experience the freedom and joy of cycling. Through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), you may be eligible to receive funding for a bike or electric bike, classified as Assistive Technology. Here’s how you can leverage NDIS funding to purchase your bike:

What is the NDIS?

The NDIS is a support system for Australians with disabilities, providing funding to improve their quality of life. Bicycles and electric bikes can be considered under this scheme to enhance mobility, independence, and overall well-being.

Steps to Secure Funding

  1. Assess Your Needs: Create an inventory of your current assistive technologies and identify how a bike or e-bike can improve your daily life.
  2. Obtain Quotes: Get detailed quotes for your desired bike. Melbourne Powered can assist with this.
  3. Maintenance Costs: Include an estimate of ongoing maintenance and servicing costs.
  4. Documentation: Work with your Occupational Therapist to complete the Assistive Technology Assessment Form, detailing how the bike will benefit you.
  5. NDIS Plan Submission: Submit all required documents and assessments to your NDIS planner to determine if it fits within your support budget.
  6. Approval and Purchase: Once approved, Melbourne Powered will guide you through the purchasing process to get you on your new bike.
