Support Item Details
Item Type: A complex orthotic device, often referred to as a Bilateral Hip Knee Ankle Foot Orthosis (HKAFO) or a Reciprocating Gait Orthosis (RGO). This is a pre-made or off-the-shelf device, designed to manage significant mobility impairments by supporting the hips, knees, ankles, and feet on both sides of the body.

Purpose: As Assistive Technology, this complex orthosis is intended to provide necessary structural support, alignment, and stability, particularly for participants with conditions that severely affect lower limb function. It aims to improve personal mobility, facilitate standing and/or walking (including assisted walking through RGO mechanisms), and enable the participant to better engage in daily living activities and community life. This directly contributes to achieving the Daily Living goals outlined in the participant's NDIS plan.

Funding Requirement: Funding for Capital supports is generally restricted to the specific items that have been identified and detailed within a participant's NDIS plan. These items often require a recommendation from an appropriately qualified allied health professional.

Provider Requirements: Providers claiming for this item must be a Registered Provider with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission for the relevant Registration Group, which is Prosthetics and Orthotics (0135).
