Claiming and Approval As a Capital Support, this item is generally restricted to specific items identified in the participant's NDIS plan. It is a quotable support, meaning the provider and participant must negotiate a price and the provider must supply a written quote for the service. While often included in a plan as a stated item, an Allied Health Professional's report may be required for approval. The overall goal is to advance the participant's education, work, social participation, and daily life integration through technology, fostering greater autonomy and connection.
