• Assistive technology

Understanding assistive technology under the NDIS

Assistive technology (AT) under the NDIS covers equipment, devices, and technology that help participants carry out daily activities, communicate, move around, and live more independently. The scope is broad — from simple aids like modified cutlery and shower chairs to complex powered wheelchairs, vehicle modifications, and communication devices.

The NDIS categorises assistive technology by cost and complexity. Low-cost AT (under $1,500) can often be purchased without prior approval, though it’s good practice to discuss it with your support coordinator. Mid-cost AT ($1,500 to $15,000) requires a quote and a recommendation from a relevant allied health professional, usually an occupational therapist. High-cost and complex AT (over $15,000) requires a detailed assessment report, multiple quotes, and NDIA approval before purchase.

The assessment process for mid-cost and above AT involves your therapist evaluating your functional needs, trialling suitable options, and preparing a written recommendation with justification for the specific product. Trial periods are particularly important for complex items like wheelchairs and communication devices — using a device for several weeks in your actual environment is the best way to confirm it meets your needs before the NDIS commits to funding it.

Repairs and maintenance for funded AT are also covered under the NDIS, either through your plan or via a reasonable and necessary request. If your equipment breaks down and you need an urgent repair, don’t wait for plan review — contact your support coordinator or the NDIA directly, as interim solutions can often be arranged quickly.

When working with AT suppliers, ask about warranty periods, expected lifespan of the equipment, availability of spare parts, and turnaround time for repairs. A good supplier will also provide training on how to use and maintain the equipment. For consumable items like continence aids or low-cost replacement parts, keep records of your usage to support future funding requests.

What to ask before choosing an NDIS provider

Before signing a service agreement with any NDIS provider, including Caremax Mobility - Sydney, it’s worth having a conversation about a few key things. What are the hourly rates, including loadings for evenings, weekends and public holidays? What cancellation fees apply, and what notice period do they require? Who will your regular support worker or practitioner be, and what happens if they’re sick or on leave? How does the provider handle complaints? These questions are standard — any reputable provider will have clear answers.

If Caremax Mobility - Sydney is registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, they’re bound by the NDIS Code of Conduct and must meet service standards audited by approved quality auditors. This covers everything from worker screening to incident reporting. Unregistered providers can still be used by plan-managed and self-managed participants but aren’t subject to the same oversight.

It’s also worth understanding your service agreement before you sign it. The agreement should clearly state the supports being delivered, the price per hour or unit, any cancellation policy, how travel charges are handled, and how either party can end the agreement. Under the NDIS, you can usually change providers, subject to the notice and cancellation terms in your service agreement. If a provider’s service agreement doesn’t include a reasonable exit clause, that’s worth questioning.

If you’re unsure about any aspect of choosing a provider, your support coordinator or local area coordinator (LAC) can help. They can explain what to look for, accompany you to initial meetings, and assist with setting up service agreements that protect your interests. Keeping records of your interactions with providers — save invoices, note key conversations, and track whether the services delivered match what was agreed — will make plan reviews smoother and provide evidence if you ever need to raise a complaint.
