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.
