Plan Access: Australia's NDIS Approved Online Shop

Finding a trustworthy NDIS approved shop — one that works for agency-managed, plan-managed, and self-managed participants alike — can be challenging. Plan Access was built specifically to solve this problem. As an Australian NDIS registered provider and online marketplace, Plan Access makes it easy for participants and their carers to find, select, and purchase the products they need using their NDIS funding.

What Makes Plan Access an NDIS Approved Shop?

An NDIS approved shop (also called an NDIS registered provider) is a business that has met the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission's requirements for registration. This means they are authorised to provide goods and services to NDIS participants whose plans are managed by the NDIA (agency-managed participants) or through a plan manager.

Plan Access holds NDIS registration, meaning participants across all plan management types can shop with confidence. The platform is purpose-built around the needs of NDIS participants — from product selection through to checkout and receipting.

Who Can Shop at Plan Access?

Plan Access is designed to serve all NDIS participants, regardless of how their plan is managed:

Agency-Managed Participants

This is where Plan Access truly stands apart from other NDIS stores. Agency-managed participants can check out directly with their NDIS funds — no invoices to request, no service agreements to sign, and no waiting for payment to process. This direct checkout for agency-managed participants is a unique feature that makes Plan Access the most convenient NDIS approved online shop in Australia.

Most other online retailers cannot accept NDIS agency-managed funding directly. Plan Access removes this barrier entirely, making it as simple as a regular online purchase.

Plan-Managed Participants

If your NDIS plan is managed by a plan manager, Plan Access works seamlessly with your arrangement. Shop for the products you need and have the invoice directed to your plan manager for payment. Our invoicing is clear and itemised to make the process smooth for both you and your plan manager.

Self-Managed Participants

Self-managed participants have the greatest flexibility in where they can shop. At Plan Access, you pay for your products and receive a detailed, itemised receipt — ready to use when claiming reimbursement through the NDIS myplace portal. Our receipts are designed to meet NDIS claim requirements.

What Can You Buy at Plan Access?

Plan Access stocks hundreds of NDIS-relevant products across key categories. As an NDIS approved store, the product range is curated specifically for participants and their support needs:

Continence and Personal Care

One of the largest categories on the platform, continence products include adult briefs, pull-up pants, underpads, waterproof bed protection, and related personal care items. Plan Access stocks leading brands like Staydry — a trusted name in continence care. Visit the continence supports category or the Staydry brand page to explore the range.

Weighted toys, sensory calming aids, and therapeutic sensory items for children and adults with autism, ADHD, and sensory processing differences. Plan Access features products from The Cuddle Club and Mindful & Co — brands specifically designed with sensory needs in mind. Browse the weighted toys and sensory products range.

Assistive Technology and Medical Supplies

From TENS/EMS devices to aids for daily living, Plan Access carries a broad selection of assistive technology and medical products eligible for NDIS funding. See our guide on what assistive technology is covered by the NDIS and explore the assistive technology and medical category.
