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.
This NDIS support item, 'Hearing device - Non-Standard' (Line Item: 05_220618811_0122_1_2), falls under the Assistive Technology (Capital) support category.
This support is allocated for the provision of highly specialised or customised hearing devices that do not fit into the standard NDIS technology tiers (Basic, Intermediate, Advanced) due to a participant's unique or complex disability-related needs. A Non-Standard device is required when standard devices or devices in lower technology tiers are unable to adequately address the participant's significant hearing loss, functional limitations, and communication goals.
This funding covers the cost of the device itself. As a high-cost and highly specialised item, this device typically requires an Assistive Technology Assessment and a detailed specification by a qualified professional, such as an Audiologist or Audiometrist, with a formal quote submitted for NDIS approval. The device is intended to significantly increase the participant's independence and functional capacity in daily life and community participation.
