Change Table/Shower Trolley - Manual

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item (05_093312811_0103_1_2), identified as Change Table/Shower Trolley - Manual, 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 non-electric, height-adjustable, wheeled piece of equipment that serves as both a changing surface and a waterproof trolley for showering. The "Manual" designation means that height adjustment (if available) and all transfers onto/off the surface must be performed manually by the support staff, often requiring the use of a separate manual or electric hoist. These devices are essential for individuals who cannot use a shower chair or shower commode due to severe mobility limitations, complex postural needs, or those who require fully reclined support for safety and hygiene.

Purpose: As Assistive Technology, this equipment is critical for ensuring the safety and dignity of both the participant and their support staff. It facilitates the safe transfer, hygiene, and drying/dressing of participants with high and complex needs who require a lying surface for care, thereby reducing the risk of falls, skin integrity issues, and manual handling injuries. 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 high cost and specialisation of shower trolleys/change tables, funding requires a comprehensive clinical assessment and detailed prescription by an appropriately qualified allied health professional (e.g., an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist) to justify the need for this level of support over standard seated equipment.

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).
