Meal preparation can be time-consuming and challenging for people living with disabilities, especially at home. By choosing to use a home delivery food service instead, participants can free up more of their energy to do what they enjoy – like taking walks, doing chores, or playing video games! Meal delivery services give participants more free time for activities that matter most.
These services not only offer convenience but can also promote healthy lifestyles for participants. By providing nutritious meals made from quality ingredients, NDIS-approved meal delivery services can boost participants’ overall health and well-being.
Many individuals with disabilities require specific dietary restrictions due to allergies or intolerances. NDIS meal delivery services provide tailored menus designed specifically to meet these requirements so participants can enjoy delicious food without jeopardizing their health or wellness.
If you are interested in NDIS Meal Delivery services for your home, be sure to discuss them with your Support Coordinator. They can assist in understanding funding options and finding suitable providers; plus ensure the meal service is included in your plan.
Independence
NDIS participants who live with cerebral palsy and struggle to coordinate their upper body movements can access cooking support for meal preparation.

While this can be extremely helpful, meal prep requires many steps such as measuring ingredients and chopping vegetables – all of which may prove challenging when using a wheelchair.
NDIS participants now have options available to them for food delivery straight to their homes. This is thanks to NDIS-approved meal providers who specialize in catering specifically to people with disabilities and adhere to NDIS standards to deliver convenient meals tailored to meet each person’s dietary requirements.
Meal delivery services offer many participants an easy and independent way to maintain healthy eating habits while maintaining independence. If this support interests you, please speak to your NDIA planner or Orange Plan Management about including it in your NDIS plan.
The NDIS allows participants to claim meal preparation and home delivery services through their flexible Core Supports budgets.
In the past, this may have required getting quotes from providers and covering ingredients out-of-pocket; now though, some providers itemize their costs with the rebate portion from NDIS being deducted directly from your core supports budget and participant co-payment paid directly by them – further easing burden and making claiming these supports even simpler!
Variety
NDIS meal delivery services can accommodate various dietary requirements and preferences, providing participants with meals that suit their requirements. They take into account cultural considerations as well as medical conditions when creating and delivering the food.
These services can be integrated into an NDIS core support plan to provide participants with additional opportunities to remain physically and mentally active and healthy, gain greater independence, reduce anxiety, and promote socialization by sharing meals with other people.
Many individuals with disabilities have specific dietary needs, making it essential that NDIS meal preparation and delivery services can accommodate them.
As such, it’s essential to research each provider’s menus, meal preparation processes, as well as their availability in accommodating different dietary restrictions. Looking for an NDIS Meal provider in Melbourne with the right tools for you is essential. Do your research ahead of time to find the best fit.
Safety
Compliance with food safety regulations is an integral component of meal preparation. From hand washing before and after handling food to using disposable gloves when working with ready-to-eat items or sanitizing surfaces and utensils between tasks, food safety protocols provide participants with protection from foodborne illness. Following them can give participants greater peace of mind when eating meals that cater to specific dietary needs or allergies.
NDIS-approved meal providers work closely with nutritionists and healthcare professionals to offer nutritious options that meet varying dietary requirements and cultural preferences.
NDIS participants now have more flexibility in using core funding for meal delivery services without needing prior approval of quotations. Before, meal delivery services had to be listed in their plan as stated line items before being approved as quotations; now however anyone with core funding can utilize it without being subjected to quote approval processes.
Meal preparation and delivery services may be an ideal solution for people with disabilities who require assistance shopping and cooking their meals on their own. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will only fund this support if it deems it reasonable and necessary in terms of an individual participant’s circumstances.
