AT Supplementary Charge - Vehicle modifications

Line Item Description

The NDIS support item Vehicle Modification - Adaptions for driver control (05_121205811_0109_1_2) provides funding for essential alterations to a private vehicle's primary controls. This support is designed to enable participants who have the capacity to hold a license to operate a vehicle safely and meet both functional and legal requirements for driving.



Specific modifications covered under this line item include adaptions to the accelerator, the brake or parking brake, and the steering system. These changes aim to allow participants to access their vehicle more independently or with reduced assistance from others.


To ensure safety and compliance, all modifications and additional driving controls must be assessed and specified by a driver-trained occupational therapist. This process may also include a supervised training program where required. It is important to note that the NDIS funds the modifications and related certification for registration but does not fund the purchase of the vehicle itself.



This support is categorised under Capital Assistive Technology and does not require a quote from the provider for the NDIA to approve funding, though it must be identified as a result of the participant's disability.
