This NDIS support item (05_062488034_0135_1_2), identified as Prosthesis - Lower Limb - Not Defined, is classified under the Capital support purpose and the Assistive Technology (AT) support category (05).

Support Item Details
Item Type: This line item serves as a placeholder for a Lower Limb Prosthesis that does not fit neatly into one of the more specific, defined categories (such as Transtibial or Transfemoral). It is intended for:

Highly complex or unique prosthetic needs: Cases involving rare amputation levels, atypical residual limb shapes, or specialised, custom-engineered components not covered by standard items.

Non-standard or novel technology: Prosthetic solutions that are functionally necessary but fall outside the typical descriptions of common prostheses.

Purpose: As Assistive Technology, the purpose of this device is to ensure that all participants, regardless of the complexity or uniqueness of their loss, can receive the necessary prosthetic support to maximise their personal mobility, independence, and participation in daily living and community activities. It is a critical line item for addressing highly individualised needs. 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. Given the "Not Defined" nature, funding for this item requires substantial evidence, detailed clinical justification, and a comprehensive assessment and prescription from a specialist team (including a Prosthetist) to confirm that the item is the most reasonable and necessary support.

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).
