Disability Equipment
Disability equipment or assistive technology (AT) refers to a technological device or a system that allows users to perform harder tasks that otherwise might be harder for them to perform due to a disability. Our disability products also make these tasks much safer to do, so it decreases any risky situations that might happen. Disability aids will be funded based on your disability, and whether it’s reasonable and necessary. In order to get funding, you need to include this specific type of support in your NDIS plan. That plan needs to be related to your disability, and your plan should show that you have goals that you want to achieve by getting disability equipment support. These disability aids cover a broad range of supports to help you with your day-to-day life. The majority of the support products being sold by disability equipment providers consist of mobility equipment; such as wheelchairs and/or disabled cycling equipment. There are many other categories as follows:
- Personal care products

Mobility Equipment for Disabled
Mobility equipment is a disability product that aids disabled individual with their movement. In your NDIS budget, mobility equipment will be categorised as “Capital Supports”; some examples for these devices are vehicle modifications, electric wheelchairs, disabled cycling equipment and so on. When the equipment that you are getting is complex or high-cost, an assessment is needed to show how it’s necessary and reasonable for you and how it will help you achieve your goals. It’s also important for you to understand what you want from your NDIS plan, so you should directly state in your NDIS application high-cost equipment, you will also need an assessment from your physiotherapist or your therapist in order to get your funding. Due to COVID-19, the low-cost items are much more flexible for funding from the NDIS.
