Support Item Details
Item Type: A custom-made full-body garment constructed from dynamic or Lycra-based materials (often referred to as a dynamic movement orthosis or 'suit'). Unlike rigid orthoses, this garment uses compression, elasticity, and strategic reinforcement to provide proprioceptive feedback, alignment, and muscle activation across the entire body.


Purpose: As Assistive Technology, this full-body orthosis is used to manage movement and posture difficulties, particularly for participants with conditions like cerebral palsy or other neurological impairments. It is designed to:

Improve postural stability and alignment.

Enhance sensory (proprioceptive) awareness.

Facilitate more efficient and functional movement patterns.

Support rehabilitation goals by improving the quality of movement. This item directly contributes to achieving the Daily Living goals and improved functional capacity 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. Due to its specialised and custom-made nature, a detailed assessment and prescription by an appropriately qualified allied health professional (such as a Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, or Orthotist) is typically required.

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).
