Adaptive clothing (NDIS clothing) offers individuals with disabilities the chance to express their personal style while meeting their specific needs. It combines functionality, comfort, and ease, empowering people to wear clothing that fits seamlessly into their daily lives.

The options of clothing for people with disabilities may be eligible for funding through a participant’s NDIS plan under Consumables (Low-Cost AT – Personal Care and Safety).

Here are some examples of NDIS adaptive clothing (clothes for disabled people) that may be considered for NDIS funding:
