Repairs and Maintenance - Orthosis

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item (Code: 05_500612441_0135_1_2) is for Repairs and Maintenance - Orthosis. It is classified under the Assistive Technology (05) support category and is a Capital support.

This line item funds the ongoing upkeep, responsive repairs, and parts replacement required to ensure that a participant’s orthotic devices (orthoses) remain fully functional, comfortable, and safe to use. The support is claimed against the Customised Prosthetics (0135) registration group.

Orthosis repairs include all necessary work on orthotic devices, such as:

Addressing structural damage or wear and tear.

Replacing components or parts.

Conducting scheduled maintenance checks to prevent failure.

The continuous maintenance and repair of orthoses are critical for the participant's independence, mobility, and well-being, as a malfunctioning device can pose a safety risk or limit daily activities.

Providers claiming this support typically must be registered in the Custom Prostheses and Orthoses (0135) registration group. Given that these repairs often involve customised work, a quote is usually required for the services, and the item is claimed per repair or maintenance event (Each unit of measure).
