Line Item Description

Support Item Details
Item Type: This item funds the purchase of a Standard Rollator that is appropriately scaled and sized for a child participant. This equipment is structurally similar to an adult rollator (a four-wheeled walker with a seat and brakes) but features child-specific dimensions to ensure correct ergonomic fit, weight capacity, and maneuverability for paediatric use. This is crucial for children or young people with disability who need a stable, mobile walking aid to support their ambulation.

Purpose: As Assistive Technology, the child's rollator is designed to foster a child's developmental goals, particularly in relation to mobility, independence, and safe exploration of their environment, both at home and in community settings (e.g., school). It provides essential balance and walking support, which is critical for physical development and participation in childhood activities.

Funding Requirement: Funding for this Capital support item must be explicitly allocated in the participant's NDIS plan. Given the specific nature of paediatric mobility aids, a detailed assessment and prescription from a qualified Allied Health Professional (typically a Paediatric Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist) is mandatory to verify that the standard rollator meets the child's individual size, functional requirements, and specific disability 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).
