Finding the Right Footwear with Barefoot Freedom: Designed for NDIS Participants

Finding the perfect footwear when you have unique mobility needs can be challenging. At Barefoot Freedom, we provide a curated range of NDIS-approved footwear designed for comfort, support, and style. Our mission is to make it easy for you to access shoes that meet your needs through your NDIS funding.

What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supports Australians with permanent and significant disabilities by providing funding for essential services and equipment. Footwear is often covered under the NDIS if it helps participants achieve their personal goals, improve mobility, and enhance their quality of life.

What Footwear the NDIS Typically Funds

The NDIS may cover specialised footwear or orthotics if:

  • The footwear is required due to a participant’s disability.
  • A health professional (like a podiatrist or physiotherapist) provides evidence to show it’s necessary.
  • It helps the participant achieve independence, participate in activities, or reduces the need for other supports.

What the NDIS Does Not Fund

The NDIS typically won’t cover:

  • Standard footwear costs not related to a disability.
  • Premium features or brands unrelated to medical needs.
  • Temporary footwear for short-term conditions like a broken toe.
