Line Item Description

This NDIS support item (Code: 05_500624305_0135_1_2) is for Repairs and Maintenance - Prosthesis - Major. It is a Capital support provided under the Assistive Technology (05) support category, specifically for Assistive Technology Maintenance, Repair and Rental.


This item funds significant or Major repairs to a prosthetic device (prosthesis). This typically involves the extensive repair or replacement of core or key components of the artificial limb or device, which often represents a higher cost than minor maintenance. Major repairs ensure the long-term integrity, safety, and functionality of the assistive technology.


Major repairs are critical for maintaining the participant's independence, mobility, and overall quality of life by addressing breakdowns that seriously impact the prosthesis's use. If a major repair is required because the equipment is broken down continuously or is dangerous to use, or if the repair is urgent, specific procedures for obtaining a quote and payment may apply.

This is a quotable support item, meaning the provider must negotiate a price with the participant and typically provide a written quote for the service. The unit of measure is Each, and it is claimed by providers registered under the Customised Prosthetics (0135) registration group.
