NDIS Purchasing

How to make a purchase with your NDIS funding

You may be able to use your NDIS funding to make a purchase from Big Little Brains if you are Self-Managed or Plan Managed. We recommend seeking advice from your Support Coordinator, Plan Manager or NDIA if you are unsure.

Self Managed

If you are self-managing your NDIS plan, there are 2 options to pay for your products with your NDIS funding:

Option 1. Purchase your Big Little products and then make a Payment Request. Using your own money purchase Big Little Brains products and receive a receipt via email. Make a Payment Request online using the NDIS myplace portal to have the money from your NDIS plan budget paid into your nominated bank account. You should be reimbursed by NDIS within 24 to 48 hours.

Option 2. Make a Payment Request and then pay your Big Little Brains invoice. Big Little Brains will provide you with a invoice for you to make a payment request online using the NDIS myplace portal. If NDIS approves your request, money from your NDIS plan budget should be paid into your nominated bank account within 24 to 48 hours. You can then pay the Big Little Brains invoice. 

Steps to create an invoice: 

  1. Review your Shopping Cart to make sure you have all the products you need.
  2. Proceed to Checkout -fill in your shipping details and enter your NDIS number and participant full name under the “Company name” field. 
  3. Select payment option “NDIS Orders“. An invoice will be sent to the nominated email provided to be paid within 14 days. Your order will be placed on hold until we have received confirmation that the funds have been transferred into our bank account. 
  4. Please note, when referring to your order, please use the Order #*** and the name the order is in, so that we can find your order quickly.
