Rollator - Standard

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item (05_120606097_0105_1_2), identified as Rollator - Standard, is classified under the Capital support purpose and the Assistive Technology (AT) support category (05).

It specifically falls within the Personal Mobility registration group (0105).

Support Item Details
Item Type: This item covers the purchase of a Standard Rollator, which is a type of wheeled walking frame (typically having three or four wheels). Standard rollators usually include essential features such as:

Hand-operated brakes: To control speed and lock the wheels for safety when standing or sitting.

A seat: To allow the participant to rest when fatigued.

A carry bag/basket: For transporting personal items. This equipment is designated for participants who require a mobile support base for safe walking but are able to safely manage the speed and direction of a wheeled device.

Purpose: As Assistive Technology, the rollator is a key piece of equipment intended to enhance a participant's independence and safe mobility within their home and community. It provides continuous stability while walking, reduces the risk of falls, and facilitates easier participation in social and daily activities outside the home, directly supporting the achievement of mobility and community participation goals in the NDIS plan.

Funding Requirement: Funding for Capital supports is generally allocated to the specific items detailed in a participant's NDIS plan. As a common, lower-cost mobility aid, the purchase of a standard rollator may be covered under a participant's Low-Cost/Low-Risk AT budget. However, professional advice and prescription from an allied health professional (such as a Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist) is strongly recommended to ensure the device is correctly fitted and appropriate for the participant's functional and safety needs.

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 Mobility (0105).
