Do you get NDIS funding if you have cerebral palsy?

CP is generally covered under List A of NDIS government funding for cerebral palsy, which means that you are likely to meet the disability requirements of the NDIS act without further assessments. 

There is no fixed amount of funding from the NDIS based solely on the type of disability. The NDIS provides funding based on what is considered to be reasonable and necessary for each participant’s unique circumstances.


Factors influencing the amount of funding you could receive include:


  • Severity of your condition, the level of impairment and how significantly cerebral palsy affects you in your daily activities and participation in the community.
  • Your specific needs, including the types of supports and services required, such as therapy, assistive technology, personal care, and home modifications. 
  • Your goals and aspirations, whether they include educational, vocational, social or are related to independence and daily living skills.
  • Current supports that exist from your family, community, and other government services and what additional support is required from the NDIS.
  • Age and life stages such as early years to adulthood will require different types of support. 
  • Cost effectiveness as well as how beneficial supports will be in the long term are taken into consideration.

How much will NDIS pay for cerebral palsy?

Generally, participants with cerebral palsy tend to receive more substantial NDIS funding compared to the average participant, primarily due to the extensive and often intensive care requirements associated with managing the condition.

Determining the exact amount of funding you will receive from the NDIS for support with cerebral palsy is not straightforward, as it highly depends on individual circumstances and needs. Cerebral palsy management encompasses a broad spectrum of interventions, both medical and non-medical approaches to address various aspects of the condition.

In 2021, the typical support budget allocated to participants with cerebral palsy averaged around $146,000. This figure highlights the NDIS’s recognition of the complex and multifaceted nature of support needed for cerebral palsy, ranging from therapeutic interventions and personal care to assistive technology and lifestyle support.
