Who Can and Who Can’t Get MyQRMed Products Under the NDIS?

MyQRMed products are designed to help individuals with disabilities store and share vital health information in emergencies or during daily activities. However, not everyone with an NDIS plan will be able to access funding for these products. Here’s what you need to know.

Who Can Get MyQRMed Products?

Under the NDIS, funding for MyQRMed products may be available for participants if:

✅ The product is considered “reasonable and necessary” to support their disability needs.

✅ It helps manage the impact of their disability on daily life.

✅ It aligns with their NDIS plan goals (such as safety, independence, or health-related goals).

✅ It is considered a low-risk, low-cost assistive technology, funded under the CORE/Consumables budget.

Examples of when MyQRMed might be funded:

• A participant with epilepsy or diabetes who may be unable to communicate important medical details in an emergency.

• A participant who has complex health needs and wants to ensure their medical information is easily accessible to first responders or carers.

  
  

Who Can’t Get MyQRMed Products?

Not every NDIS participant will be eligible to use their funding for MyQRMed products. Funding might not be approved if:

❌ The product isn’t directly related to managing their disability.

❌ It isn’t considered “reasonable and necessary” by the NDIS.

❌ The participant doesn’t have a need for the product as part of their NDIS goals.

❌ It’s considered to be a general household or personal item that everyone would typically purchase out of pocket.

Key Takeaway

The NDIS funds items that are directly linked to a participant’s disability needs and goals. MyQRMed products can be funded under the NDIS for those who meet the criteria, but they aren’t automatically funded for everyone. If you’re unsure, check with your support coordinator, plan manager, or the NDIS directly to see if MyQRMed products might be funded under your plan.
