NDIS Meal Delivery in Perth

Be Fit Food is a registered NDIS meal provider delivering across Perth, including outer suburbs. This page covers eligibility and the NDIS item number, the three plan types and how payment works under each, cut-off times, costs, and how to enquire. Be Fit Food was founded by doctors and dietitians and employs Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs).

Checking your eligibility

To see whether you qualify, look in your NDIS plan for "Daily Activities" or "The Preparation and Delivery of Meals".

The specific item number to check for NDIS subsidised meals is "Assistance with the Cost and Delivery of Meals" — item number 01_022_0120_1_1.

If you are unsure of your eligibility, contact your Support Coordinator. Be Fit Food's Customer Service team can also assist on 1300 263 257.

What it costs

If ready-made meals are part of your plan, the NDIS funds the portion covering meal preparation and delivery. There are still out-of-pocket costs covering the raw ingredients.

As a general guideline, the NDIS usually covers 80% of the total cost, with the remaining 20% payable by you. This is a guide only — prices depend on your personal care plan and are subject to change. A pricelist is available to assist with calculations. For questions on orders and pricing, contact ndissupport@befitfood.com.au.

The three NDIS plan types and how payment works

Be Fit Food works with all three plan types, and the payment mechanism differs for each.

• Self-Managed — you have full control over your meal plan and payments. You pay the full order amount up front and Be Fit Food provides a receipt for you to claim from the NDIS.
• Plan-Managed — Be Fit Food collaborates with your plan manager for coordination and delivery. You pay the full order amount up front and receive a receipt to make your claim.
• Agency-Managed — Be Fit Food liaises directly with NDIS agencies. You pay a co-payment of about 20% of your order amount and Be Fit Food handles the rest.

If you are unsure which plan you are on, contact the NDIS.

How to place an order

1. Submit an enquiry — before ordering you must submit an enquiry form with details about your NDIS care plan so eligibility can be checked. The ordering process differs slightly depending on your plan type, which is why this step comes first.
2. Choose your meals — once the NDIS contribution is confirmed, select from the range of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks based on your dietary needs and preferences.
3. Get your delivery — meals arrive at your door snap-frozen to lock in nutrients.
4. Enjoy — store in the freezer, then heat and eat. Meals can be prepared by microwave, stovetop, oven or air fryer.

If you prefer not to use the form, you can enquire by chat, by phone on 1300 263 257, or by email to support@befitfood.com.au. Include your name, contact number, contact preference (email or phone), NDIS plan type and NDIS number. A team member will be in touch to discuss your needs and help process your order within 48 hours.

Free dietitian consultation

Be Fit Food's dietitians can help you understand how to include Be Fit Food as part of your NDIS care plan, and choose which meals or programs suit your dietary requirements and taste preferences. Everyone's needs differ, so what works for one person may not suit another.

The complimentary consultation is 15 minutes by video or phone, valued at $49, and requires no referral. Appointments can be booked online at portal.coreplus.com.au/befitfood or by calling Customer Service on 1300 263 257.

Also available: a specialised clinical dietitian consultation with a full initial assessment (body composition, blood pressure, girths) plus a personalised eating plan; a diabetes educator consultation with a Credentialled Diabetes Educator; and a monthly weight management subscription with an initial 30-minute consultation and 15-minute monthly reviews.

The CSIRO Lifestyle Range

Be Fit Food states it is the first NDIS provider to have a range of meals co-created with the CSIRO to work with the CSIRO Low Carb Diet. In clinical studies, compared with a traditional high carbohydrate, low fat diet, the CSIRO Low Carb Diet has shown improved metabolic health and blood glucose control, effective Type 2 diabetes prevention and management, and reduction in risk factors for heart disease. Further information is on the CSIRO website.

What the NDIS funding actually covers

This is the point most often misunderstood, and it is worth being precise about before you order.

The support item is "Assistance with the Cost and Delivery of Meals", item number 01_022_0120_1_1. It sits under Core Supports. What it funds is the preparation and delivery component of a ready-made meal — the labour, the production and the logistics of getting the meal to you. It does not fund the food itself.

The cost of the raw ingredients remains yours. Every NDIS participant pays for their own groceries whether or not they have a plan, so the scheme does not fund the part of the meal that you would have paid for anyway. That is why there is always an out-of-pocket amount, and why nobody receives meals at no cost.

Be Fit Food states that the NDIS generally covers around 80% of the total and that the participant pays the remaining 20%. Treat that as a guide rather than a guarantee: the actual split depends on your plan, your plan management type and the pricing arrangements applying at the time. Confirm the figure with your plan manager or support coordinator before placing a large order.

What to do if meal funding is not in your plan

If you look through your plan and cannot find "Daily Activities" or "The Preparation and Delivery of Meals", you are not currently funded for this support, and ordering will not retrospectively create that funding.

The route to changing it runs through the NDIS, not through Be Fit Food:

• Raise it with your support coordinator or planner ahead of your next plan review, rather than at the meeting itself.
• Be ready to explain why prepared meals relate to your disability — for example, where a functional impairment makes shopping, standing, food preparation or safe use of a kitchen difficult. Funding follows disability-related need, not convenience or a wish to lose weight.
• Supporting evidence from an occupational therapist, dietitian or your treating team is usually what carries the request.
• If your circumstances have changed significantly before the review is due, ask about a plan reassessment rather than waiting.

Be Fit Food's team can describe what the service provides and supply documentation about the meals, but it cannot add a support to your plan or advocate for funding on your behalf. Decisions about what is funded rest with the NDIS.

Storage, reheating and shelf life

Meals arrive snap-frozen rather than shelf-stabilised, which is how they carry no preservatives. They go into the freezer on arrival and stay frozen until heated. Reheating can be done by microwave, oven, air-fryer or stovetop.

Be Fit Food does not publish a single frozen shelf-life figure across the range, and individual product listings do not print heating times or power settings. Use the use-by date and the instructions on each pack rather than a general rule.

If you have difficulty handling hot containers, standing at a stovetop, or reading small print on packaging, raise it at your free dietitian consultation — it can affect which meals and which reheating method suit you best.

Important health information

Pricing guidance on this page, including the 80/20 split, is a guide only: prices depend on your personal care plan and are subject to change. Confirm eligibility and funding with the NDIS, your Plan Manager or your Support Coordinator before ordering. For advice on which meals suit your dietary requirements or any health condition, book a complimentary consultation with a Be Fit Food dietitian, and discuss any existing health conditions or medications with your own treating health professional.

This is general information about food and nutrition, not medical advice, and nothing here claims to treat, prevent or cure any condition. Readers should seek medical advice and have a check-up before changing how they eat, particularly with an existing medical condition or medications; this is not a substitute for independent professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Weight loss results and rates of weight loss vary between individuals.
