AT Rental - Assistive Products for Respiration Support

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item falls under the Capital budget and is used for the Rental of Assistive Technology. It specifically covers Assistive Products for Respiration Support, which corresponds to Registration Group 0103.

The purpose of this line item is to provide participants with access to vital respiration support equipment for a defined period, rather than purchasing the equipment outright. Rental is typically used for situations where:

The participant's needs are short-term or temporary (e.g., during recovery from an illness or a change in condition).

The required equipment is needed quickly, and purchase lead times are too long.

The technology is being trialled before a decision is made for a permanent purchase.

The required equipment has a high initial cost that makes rental a more financially appropriate solution for the current plan period.

This support item ensures flexibility and timely access to equipment like ventilators, CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, and other respiratory aids. The rental charge typically covers the cost of hiring the equipment and often includes basic maintenance and servicing for the rental period. The primary goal is to maintain or improve the participant's functional capacity and overall health through necessary respiratory support.
