Shower Commode - Wheeled - Tilt In Space

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item (05_091203891_0103_1_2), identified as Shower Commode - Wheeled - Tilt In Space, is classified under the Capital support purpose and the Assistive Technology (AT) support category (05).

It specifically falls within the Personal Care and Safety Equipment registration group (0103).

Support Item Details
Item Type: A high-specification, wheeled mobile showering and toileting system that incorporates a Tilt-in-Space mechanism. This function allows the entire seat and backrest to pivot backward, changing the angle of the participant relative to the ground while maintaining the hip, knee, and ankle angles. This is a crucial feature for participants who:

Require maximum postural support and stability.

Have difficulty maintaining a seated position without assistance.

Are at high risk of sliding or falling forward.

Require pressure redistribution to manage skin integrity issues during prolonged showering or toileting routines.

Purpose: As Assistive Technology, this equipment is vital for enabling participants with complex or high support needs to engage safely and comfortably in essential personal care activities. The tilt function reduces the risk of injury, assists in managing severe spasticity, and facilitates better access for hygiene procedures, thereby increasing independence and reducing the manual handling load on support workers. This item directly supports the achievement of 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 clinical complexity and higher cost, funding for a Tilt-in-Space commode requires a detailed clinical justification and prescription by an appropriately qualified allied health professional (e.g., an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist).

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).
