NDIS and Fitness: Breaking Down Support for Gym Memberships and Personal Training

In the realm of disability support, questions often arise about what the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) does and doesn’t cover, particularly when it comes to health and fitness services. One of the common inquiries is whether the NDIS funds gym memberships. The short answer is no. But let’s delve deeper into this topic.

Does the NDIS fund gym membership?

No, the NDIS does not fund gym memberships as they are considered day-to-day living costs not directly related to disability support needs. According to the NDIS Act, support should aid individuals in activities that enhance their social and economic participation. While physical activity is crucial for overall well-being, gym memberships are generally not considered within the scope of NDIS funding.

Does the NDIS fund Personal Training?

Yes, the NDIS does fund Personal Training under the category of capacity building – health and wellbeing. Personal Training can be immensely beneficial for individuals with disabilities. It not only improves fitness levels but also boosts confidence, enhances participation in daily tasks, and fosters independence.
