How to Claim Friendie Headphones Through NDIS

Please Note: Friendie is not a registered NDIS provider. For self-managed participants, reimbursement is subject to NDIS approval and must align with your individual plan goals. We recommend confirming eligibility with your support coordinator or the NDIA before purchase if you're unsure.

 

Self-Managed Participants:

You can purchase the headphones first, then submit a claim to the NDIS using the paid invoice or receipt.

 

 

Steps:
  1. Choose Your Product: See table above.
  2. Place Your Order: Purchase directly through our website. Add a note at checkout that it's NDIS-related. 
  3. Receive Your Invoice:  An invoice will be provided at checkout.
  4. Submit for Reimbursement: Log into the myGov portal and claim using the invoice. You may also forward it to your support coordinator for assistance.
Plan-Managed Participants:

 

 

You’ll need to request a quote or pro forma invoice first, then your plan manager pays Friendie directly. Once payment is received, your order is shipped and a paid tax invoice is issued for your records.

Steps:

  1. Choose Your Product: See table above.
  2. Request an Invoice: Email support@friendie.com.au with your name, reason for purchase, NDIS number (optional), and plan manager contact details.
  3. Notify your Plan Manager: We'll send the invoice directly to your plan manager and CC you in.
