For many NDIS participants, maintaining a healthy and independent lifestyle can be challenging, especially when it comes to meal preparation. Whether due to time constraints, restricted mobility or other factors, preparing nutritious meals every day may not always be practical.
That’s where ready-made meal services like Lite n’ Easy come in. Designed to support independence, promote well-being and offer value for money within NDIS funding, these services provide an easy, reliable way to enjoy delicious, dietitian-approved meals for eligible participants while focusing on what matters most - living life to the fullest.
Supporting Independence and Quality of Life
Ready-made meal delivery services help support independence by reducing the need for external assistance with meal preparation, allowing participants to:
Enjoy more control over daily routines – Reducing reliance on others for meal preparation.
Free up time and energy – Spending more time on activities they love instead of shopping, cooking and cleaning.
Enjoy healthy, convenient and delicious meals – Lite n’ Easy provides dietitian-designed meals that adhere to the Australian Dietary Guidelines, making it easier to eat well every day.
"With my disabilities, food preparation is difficult. Physically shopping for the ingredients is a marathon. Then the preparation of the ingredients is difficult, sometimes impossible because I’ve had 9 fingertips amputated, combined with my partial blindness. It's just easier with Lite n' Easy." – Lisa, Lite n’ Easy NDIS Customer
The Importance of Nutritious Meals
Eating well is vital for both physical and mental well-being. A nutritionally balanced diet helps support:
Energy levels – Helping participants stay active and engaged throughout the day.
Overall health – Supporting immune function, heart health and muscle strength.
Cognitive function – Providing essential nutrients for better focus, memory and mood.
Lite n’ Easy follows the Australian Dietary Guidelines, ensuring all meals are balanced, portion-controlled and packed with essential nutrients. With over 235 delicious options, including high-protein and vegetarian meals, there’s something to suit everyone.
“I feel much healthier with the increased fruit and vegetables that Lite n’ Easy has brought to my diet. I have enjoyed incorporating vegetarian meals into my diet too." – Allison, Lite n’ Easy NDIS Customer
Flexibility to Suit Different Funding Levels
One of the biggest advantages of ready-made meal delivery services is their ability to work within different NDIS funding levels. Lite n’ Easy offers:
Meal plans that fit a range of budgets – Helping participants maximise their NDIS support.
NDIS-subsidised meals – Eligible NDIS customers can enjoy delicious meals from around $3.00 per meal. If you have NDIS funding for meal preparation and delivery, you pay for the ingredients as an everyday cost (30%) and the NDIS will cover the meal preparation and delivery costs.
Personalised Advocacy Letters – Lite n’ Easy understands that navigating the NDIS can be complex, so we offer personalised advocacy letters to support your funding requests. Our team of Accredited Practising Dietitians can assess your needs and offer evidence to justify the need for meal preparation in your NDIS plan, ensuring you get the right support.
NDIS participants can choose from a range of meal plans tailored to their needs, from full meal solutions to flexible meal packs that complement home-cooked options.
"I became an NDIS participant in 2020, and to my delight, I discovered that Lite n’ Easy was available to me through the NDIS. The subsidised meals are very affordable as opposed to having a carer cook for me and this allows me to better balance my NDIS package budget." – Myra, Lite n’ Easy NDIS Customer
