Delivery - Specialised Hearing AT

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item is funded under the Capital - Assistive Technology category and is designed to cover the necessary delivery and freight costs associated with providing high-cost Specialised Hearing Assistive Technology (AT) to the participant.

The purpose of this line item is to ensure that specialised and complex hearing devices, often requiring careful handling and secure transport, are safely and efficiently delivered to the participant or a fitting specialist's location. This support ensures timely access to equipment critical for communication, learning, and daily functioning. This item is relevant to equipment under the NDIS Registration Group 0119: Specialised Hearing Equipment (Note: Group 0119 is often used for higher-cost, non-standard hearing supports).

The "Delivery" claim covers the logistical expenses, including freight charges, insurance during transit, and any associated transport fees, for high-cost specialised hearing equipment such as:

Complex/Custom Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs): Delivery of advanced wireless systems, customised alerting systems, or other high-cost non-standard hearing aids.

Cochlear Implant Processors: Delivery of newly purchased or replacement external components for cochlear implant systems.

Bone Conduction Devices: Delivery of specialised devices for bone conduction hearing.

This line item ensures that the costs of physically getting the AT to the participant are covered, separate from the cost of the equipment itself. Claims are made against the specific support number: 05_711000080_0119_1_2.
