Can you claim for a BIBO Water Bar through your NDIS plan?
If you’re eligible for assistance through the government’s National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) then you may be able to make a claim for your BIBO Water Bar.
For those with mobility difficulties, filling a heavy kettle and then pouring boiling water into cups can be stressful and dangerous. Often, preparing a morning coffee or afternoon tea is only possible if a carer is on hand to help.

The NDIS helps over half a million Australians live more independent lives by providing services including:

How can I claim for my BIBO Water Bar?
Several BIBO customers have successfully claimed back the cost of their water bar as a ‘consumable’.
Consumables are everyday household items that help a disabled person live independently in their own home. ‘Assistive technology’ includes equipment and devices that enable them to perform tasks that their disability prevents them from doing.
How do I make an NDIS claim?
You can ask about claiming for a BIBO Water Bar in your regular NDIS planning meetings, or use funding in your existing plan. A water bar is categorised as ‘low cost assistive technology’ as its less than $1500 and doesn’t need to be bought from an approved provider.
The NDIS will look into whether what you’re planning to purchase represents good value before they grant approval.
To claim, you’ll need to demonstrate that your disability means you cannot safely use a regular kettle

At the heart of the NDIS is a desire to improve the quality of life for those living with a disability – helping them to live happily in their homes, gain employment opportunities and have a rich social life.
If you think a BIBO Water Bar would help you or someone you know live their life to the full, call the NDIS helpline on 1800 800110 or email enquiries@ndis.gov.au.
