Support Item Details
Item Type: A highly specialised, wheeled mobile showering and toileting system designed for participants with complex or high-intensity support needs. This category often includes features necessary to manage significant postural, pressure, or mobility challenges that cannot be met by standard commodes. These features may include:

Advanced Customisation: Complex seating and positioning supports (e.g., custom backrests, headrests, lateral supports).

Specialised Adjustments: Tilt-in-space or recline functionality for pressure management and safety.

Heavy Duty/Bariatric Capacity: Designs for participants with specific weight or size requirements.

Purpose: As Assistive Technology, this equipment is vital for maintaining the participant's safety, dignity, and health while performing personal care activities in wet areas. It is designed to manage severe functional limitations, reduce the risk of injury (to both the participant and their support workers), and ensure the proper execution of hygiene routines for participants with high-intensity support requirements. 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. Due to the complexity and specialised nature, a comprehensive clinical assessment and detailed report from an appropriately qualified allied health professional (e.g., an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist specialising in complex seating) is mandatory to justify the high cost and specification.

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).
