NDIS approved to supply meals

GOURMET Meals is an approved and registered provider of meals for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which has started rolling out in southeast Queensland.

Owner Daniel Wuthrich says by this year, the NDIS will support around 460,000 disabled people with the reasonable and necessary supports they need to live an ordinary life.

“Depending on eligibility, prepared and delivered meals can now be fully or partially funded by the NDIS for people with a disability, their family and their carers,” he said.

“Meal preparation and delivery is covered under Core Supports through the NDIS, as assistance with daily living.

“While this can vary with individual circumstances, generally, NDIS participants can choose to have meals prepared and delivered from a registered meal provider through the National Disability Agency.

“The agency – or in some cases the participant’s plan manager – is invoiced for the cost of meal preparation and delivery, with the recipient only having to pay for the cost of the ingredients in the meals.

“Gourmet Meals offer a wide selection of healthy, nutritious and delicious snapfrozen meals that cater for different health and dietary concerns.

“If you would like nutritious and delicious meals delivered to your doorstep by Gourmet Meals, just visit our website and then, contact the NDIS who may be able to assist you directly or put you in touch with your local area co-ordinator, who will work with you to develop an NDIS participant’s plan and ascertain your eligibility for delivered ready meals.”
