Repairs and Maintenance - Other AT

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item (Code: 05_500000303_0103_1_2) is for Repairs and Maintenance - Other AT. This support is categorised under Assistive Technology (05) and falls within the Capital support purpose.

This line item provides essential funding for the professional services required to repair, service, and maintain a participant's Assistive Technology (AT) items that are not covered by other specific repair codes. This is typically used for major repairs, regular servicing, and maintenance, which is allocated within the participant's Capital - Assistive Technology budget.

The support ensures the functional reliability and longevity of AT devices, preventing breakdowns that could compromise a participant's safety, independence, mobility, or communication.

Key features of this line item:

Scope: Covers the cost of repairs and maintenance for a wide range of AT items, often associated with categories such as Assistive Products for Personal Care and Safety (registration group 0103) and others, including vehicle modifications, personal care, and safety equipment.

Purpose: The goal is to keep essential equipment in optimal working order, promoting sustained community engagement and independence.

Quoting: This is a Quotable Support. For high-cost repairs (e.g., typically over $1,500), a quote is usually required, and the cost must be deemed reasonable and necessary.

Urgent Repairs: Funds can be accessed for urgent out-of-hours repairs for equipment that is critical for a participant's safety, mobility, communication, or daily living activities.

Participants are advised to check if the repair is covered by the manufacturer's warranty first, as warranty repairs are not funded by the NDIS.
