Support Item Details
Item Type: This item funds the cost of renting Assistive Technology designed to assist with personal care (e.g., showering, toileting, dressing) and safety within the home and community. Examples of items that may be rented under this line item include:

Shower commodes or chairs.

Standing/transfer aids for temporary use.

Safety alarms or monitoring systems for trials or short periods.

Equipment required during recovery, rehabilitation, or while waiting for permanent AT to be ordered or customised.

Purpose: Renting AT provides a flexible and timely solution when equipment is needed for a short duration, such as a trial period to ensure suitability, a temporary requirement (e.g., post-surgery), or when there is a delay in the delivery of purchased equipment. This ensures continuity of support for daily living activities and maintains the participant's safety and independence, directly supporting the achievement of 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. Rental is typically approved for a defined short-term period where the cost is deemed reasonable and necessary compared to the outright purchase of the item.

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 Personal Care and Safety Equipment (0103).
