AT Supplementary Charge - Recreation including sport

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item, 05_0002_0112_1_2 AT Supplementary Charge - Recreation including sport, is categorised under Capital Supports/Assistive Technology.

The purpose of this line item is to provide funding to cover the additional costs associated with essential Assistive Technology (AT) for recreation and sport. The "Supplementary Charge" is specifically allocated to expenses that exceed the standard or basic cost of the recreational or sporting AT itself.

This funding is crucial for securing complex or customised features, modifications, or accessories required to make recreational and sporting equipment accessible and suitable for the participant's specific disability needs. Examples of equipment this may relate to include adaptive bikes, specialised sporting wheelchairs, custom grips for gaming, or other modified gear for leisure activities.

By covering these supplementary costs, the support item enables greater participation in hobbies, fitness, and community life. The outcome is enhanced social inclusion, improved physical and mental well-being, and the ability for the participant to engage fully in recreational and sporting activities alongside their peers.
