AT Supplementary Charge - Vision

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item, 05_0002_0113_1_2 AT Supplementary Charge - Vision, is classified within the Capital Supports/Assistive Technology category of the NDIS.

The purpose of this "Supplementary Charge" is to provide funding to cover additional expenses that are incurred above the basic or standard price of Assistive Technology (AT) specifically designed for vision impairment. This line item is intended to bridge the funding gap for highly specialised, complex, or customised features and accessories that are necessary to make the vision AT fully functional and appropriate for the participant's unique support needs.

Vision-related AT can include a wide range of devices, such as low-vision aids, screen-reading software, braille displays, accessible computers, or other technology that assists with reading, mobility, and daily tasks for people with blindness or low vision.

By covering these supplementary costs, this support ensures participants can access the most effective, tailored vision AT solutions, ultimately increasing their capacity for independence, safety, communication, and community participation.
