What this support item covers:

This line item is designed to cover smaller, routine maintenance and minor repair tasks for wheeled mobility devices and associated seating. The goal is to maintain the ongoing safety, performance, and functionality of essential mobility equipment for NDIS participants, often for devices recently past their warranty period.


Services typically covered include:

Routine maintenance checks, servicing, and adjustments.

Minor repairs on personal mobility equipment such as manual wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs, scooters, and walking frames with wheels.

Simple, non-complex tasks like brake adjustments, tyre pumping, replacement of inner tubes, and the repair or replacement of other small, low-cost components due to general wear and tear.

By providing timely minor repairs, this funding ensures participants can continue to use their equipment safely and reliably, which is vital for maintaining independence, accessing the community, and engaging in daily life. Major repairs or extensive work on older or highly complex devices are covered under a separate, major repairs line item. The unit of measure for this support item is 'Each'.
