Security cameras can play a vital role in the lives of people living with disabilities, offering safety, independence, and support for both participants and their carers.
If you or a loved one is living with a disability and receiving support through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), you might be wondering whether security cameras can be included in your plan. The answer is yes—under specific circumstances, security cameras can be funded to improve safety and independence. At Smart Cameras, we provide tailored security solutions and professional installation services to meet the unique needs of NDIS participants, ensuring peace of mind for individuals and their families.
What are Security Cameras Used For Under NDIS?
NDIS funding for security cameras is often considered in cases where the participant requires additional safety measures to manage risks related to their disability. For example:
- Preventing Wandering: For participants with memory or cognitive issues, cameras can provide alerts to carers.
- Safety Monitoring: If a participant is prone to falls or behavioural challenges, cameras can help carers monitor their well-being remotely.
- Property Protection: Participants who live alone may feel vulnerable and benefit from added security at home.
How Can Security Cameras Be Funded?
To qualify for NDIS funding, the security camera installation must meet the “reasonable and necessary” criteria. This means:
- The cameras must directly address challenges caused by the participant’s disability.
- They must align with the goals outlined in the participant’s NDIS plan.
- Supporting evidence, such as a report from an occupational therapist or psychologist, may be required.
Why Consider Security Cameras?
- Independence: Cameras empower participants to live more autonomously while still having support in place.
- Peace of Mind: Families and carers can remotely monitor safety without being physically present.
- Cost-Effective Solution: In some cases, security cameras can reduce the need for additional in-person support, making them a practical option for long-term care.
What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government initiative that provides funding and support to Australians under 65 living with significant disabilities. The scheme is designed to help participants achieve their goals, increase independence, and improve their quality of life. Supports can include therapies, assistive technology, home modifications, and more, based on individual needs and plans.
