Claiming Period Swimwear Through NDIS

Australians accessing the right period protection shouldn’t be a barrier to independence and comfort. Thanks to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), reusable, leak-proof period swimwear is now more accessible than ever. Here’s how Azure Belle’s period swimwear can support you, your teen, or your clients and how to claim it through NDIS.

Who Can Qualify for NDIS Support?

You may be eligible for NDIS assistance if you:

Are under 65 years old at the time of application
Are an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a qualifying visa
Meet the criteria for permanent or significant disability—or early intervention needs

If these boxes are ticked, you may be able to claim period swimwear under your NDIS plan, especially if traditional menstrual products are not suitable.

How to Claim Azure Belle Period Swimwear via NDIS

1. Check with Your Plan Manager

Before purchasing, confirm whether your plan allows reimbursement for period swimwear. Coverage can vary depending on how your plan is managed.

2. Place Your Order

Once approved, make your purchase your ladies period swimwear or teen period swimwear online through the Azure Belle online store.

3. Request a Tax Invoice

Email admin@azurebelle.com.au with your order number (and your NDIS number if you'd like it included on the invoice) to obtain an official tax invoice, this is required for your reimbursement claim.

4. Submit for Reimbursement

Send the invoice to your plan manager or lodge it directly with NDIS if you're self-managed.

Why Azure Belle Period Swimsuits Are NDIS-Eligible

Azure Belle’s swimsuits are not just functional—they’re genuinely transformative, especially for those with additional needs:

Dual-purpose Design: Leak-proof for both menstruation and light incontinence—ideal for aquatic participation without anxiety.
Sensory-friendly Fabric: Comfortable and gentle for sensitive or tactile-averse individuals.
Sustainably Made: High-quality, reusable swimwear that reduces reliance on disposables, aligning with eco-conscious values.
Award-winning Innovation: Recognised for sustainability and design, creating confidence both in and out of the water

NDIS-Eligible Alternatives in the Market

For context, other brands like Modibodi, Eco Period, and Mira Comfort also offer period or incontinence products that may be claimed under Category 03 (meaningful daily life support).
However, Azure Belle remains one of the few specifically focused on stylish period swimwear designed for confident water activity.

A Note on NDIS Policy Changes

In August 2024, there were government proposals to reclassify menstrual products—potentially affecting NDIS eligibility. Advocacy groups are actively pushing for menstrual items to remain supported under disability-related essentials. The Guardian
