Claiming your Snuggly Bag through NDIS
We understand that some families have encountered difficulties when trying
to claim Snuggly Bags through their child’s NDIS plan.
To help, we’ve outlined the best way to support your request for claiming and funding
Our Adaptive Snuggly Bags are specifically designed for children and young adults
with disability who are unable to use standard bedding such as blankets or doonas
—whether due to sensory issues, mobility limitations, or safety concerns.
These individuals often require specialised, age-appropriate sleep solutions
to stay warm, safe, and covered throughout the night.
Unlike regular baby sleeping bags, our Snuggly Bags are made in larger sizes and feature
adaptive designs tailored for older children and young people with high support needs.
These are essential, ongoing supports—not one-off items—as children grow and require replacements over time.
To support your NDIS funding claim:
Engage your child’s treating team
Ask your child’s Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist or relevant allied health professional to provide a letter or report.
This document should outline:
Your child’s disability-related need for the Snuggly Bag.
Why regular bedding is unsuitable or unsafe.
How the product supports your child’s goals, safety and well being.
Submit evidence with your claim:
Provide this supporting documentation to your Plan Manager or directly to the NDIA (if self or agency-managed)
This will assist in showing that the item is “reasonable and necessary” under the NDIS, and not a general household cost.
