Line Item Description

This NDIS support item, Environmental Control (ECU)/Safety-Related Products (05_241303121_0123_1_2), is included under the Assistive Technology (AT) category (Support Category 05).

What are Environmental Control Units (ECUs)? An Environmental Control Unit is an electronic device or system that acts as a technical bridge, assisting individuals with significant physical disabilities to control their surroundings. These systems enhance a participant's autonomy by enabling them to remotely operate a wide range of household functions, including:

Lighting and climate control (heating/cooling)

Security and entertainment systems (e.g., television, audio)

Operation of doors, curtains, and windows

Telephones and communication devices

Participant Outcomes: The integration of ECU and safety-related products is transformative, fostering independence and dignity. Participants enjoy enhanced safety, comfort, and control within their living spaces. By granting control over daily tasks, these technologies can significantly reduce the need for constant caregiver presence, improving quality of life and day-to-day functional efficiency.

Funding Notes: This is a Quotable Support item, which means a quote is required before the support can be purchased and claimed. This support item is typically included as a stated item in a participant's NDIS plan.
