AT Rental - Modified for accessible recreation

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item (Code: 05_300000115_0112_1_2) is for AT Rental - Modified for accessible recreation. This support is categorised under Assistive Technology (05) and falls within the Capital support purpose.

This line item provides funding for the rental of assistive technology (AT) that has been specifically modified or adapted to enable NDIS participants to access and take part in recreational and sporting activities. Renting AT can be a beneficial option for:

Trialing Equipment: Allowing a participant to test equipment for a short period before deciding on a permanent purchase.

Short-Term Needs: Providing access to specialised equipment for a temporary activity, camp, or event, or when a participant's own equipment is being repaired.

Flexibility: Enabling participants to try different types of equipment or adapt to changing interests without a large capital outlay.

The equipment is designed for leisure pursuits, and may include items such as modified sports gear, accessible gaming devices, and adaptive tools for hobbies, ensuring recreational activities are customised to individual needs. The overall goal is to eliminate barriers to recreation, supporting the participant's physical health, mental well-being, and social and community participation.

In the NDIS plan, this item is often a stated item. If it is not stated, a report from an Allied Health Professional (such as an AT advisor) may be required to justify the rental and ensure the equipment meets the participant's disability-related goals. Rentals may be claimed using a Unit of Measure like 'Weekly'.
