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 (Code: 05_300000111_0112_1_2) is for Assistive Products - Recreation and Sport not otherwise defined. This falls under the Assistive Technology (05) support category in the Capital support purpose.
This provision covers specialised equipment, aids, and accessories that facilitate a participant's active participation in a wide range of leisure and sporting activities. The fundamental aim of this support is to enhance recreational inclusivity, foster independence, and encourage community involvement, which contributes to improved physical health and mental well-being.
The support is for products that are necessary due to the participant's disability and are tailored to meet their unique requirements in recreational pursuits.
Examples of equipment that may be funded under this line item include:
Specialised equipment and accessories to help participants take part in recreational and sporting activities.
Adapted recreational equipment, such as card holders, camera holders, and other adaptions to enable participation in recreational activity, where not defined elsewhere.
The incremental cost of modifying general equipment—such as adapting a tricycle for a person with balance or motor impairments—may be deemed reasonable and necessary if it links to a plan goal, as the NDIS generally does not fund recreational equipment ordinarily or in total.
An Assistive Technology (AT) assessment may be required to access this support, depending on the complexity and cost of the item, to ensure the product is right for the participant's needs.
Some activities can be delivered without the participant percent
Some providers can charge participants for the time it takes them to travel and deliver support
