Line Item Description

This NDIS support item (05_061219821_0135_1_2), identified as Orthosis - Bilateral Thoraco-lumbar/Lumbo-Sacral Hip Knee Ankle Foot - Custom, is classified under the Capital support purpose and the Assistive Technology (AT) support category (05).

It specifically falls within the Prosthetics and Orthotics registration group (0135).

Support Item Details
Item Type: An extremely complex, highly specialised, and custom-made orthotic device. This device integrates trunk support (Thoraco-lumbar or Lumbo-Sacral Orthosis - TLSO/LSO) with extensive lower limb support (Bilateral Hip Knee Ankle Foot Orthosis - HKAFO). This type of orthosis is fabricated specifically to the participant's precise body contours and clinical needs, managing conditions that require comprehensive stabilisation of the trunk, hips, knees, and ankles simultaneously.

Purpose: As Assistive Technology, this custom device is essential for participants with severe and complex physical impairments that affect both their posture and lower limb function. Its goal is to provide maximum structural support, alignment, and stability to enable essential functions such as assisted standing, walking (gait), balance, and transferring. By doing so, it significantly enhances personal mobility and enables the participant to participate more fully in daily living and community activities, supporting the achievement of their NDIS Daily Living goals.

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. Given the complexity and custom nature, this item necessitates a rigorous assessment and prescription process, typically involving a specialist Orthotist and other relevant allied health professionals.

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).
