This NDIS support item falls under the Capital budget's Assistive Technology (AT) category. It specifically covers the provision of a high-quality, complex Powered Wheelchair Base designed for versatile use across a range of environments, including indoor spaces and outdoor terrain.
This type of powered mobility device is essential for NDIS participants who require a complex, customised solution to achieve their daily living and community participation goals. The item description indicates the wheelchair base may be provided with or without an integrated tilt function. When included, the tilt feature is vital for pressure care management, posture correction, comfort, and clinical safety.
As a high-cost, high-risk item, the prescription for this support must be recommended by an appropriately qualified Assistive Technology assessor, such as an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist, to ensure it meets the participant's specific and complex clinical and functional needs. The funding covers the complete powered base, enabling participants to have greater independence and access within their home and community.
