Where a support item does not have a price limit then the provider and participant should agree on the reasonable price for the support. If necessary, they should also agree on the billing schedule for the support. In the NDIS Support Catalogue marked under empty type.
Line Item Description
This NDIS support item falls under the Capital budget's Assistive Technology (AT) category. It specifically covers the provision of a complex Portable/Folding Powered Wheelchair Base. This specialised equipment is designed for participants whose mobility needs require a powered device that can be easily dismantled or folded for transportation and storage.
This feature makes the powered base highly beneficial for NDIS participants who frequently travel, use public transport, or require the chair to be loaded into a personal vehicle for community access. The convenience of portability directly supports the NDIS goal of increased social and economic participation.
As a high-cost, high-risk item, the prescription for this equipment must be recommended by an appropriately qualified Assistive Technology assessor, such as an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist, to ensure it is the most suitable, complex solution to meet the participant's functional and travel-specific needs. The funding covers the complete powered base, helping participants to achieve greater mobility and independence in diverse settings.
