Delivery – 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 Hearing Assistive Technology (AT) to the participant.

The purpose of this line item is to ensure that specialised hearing equipment, which is often delicate, high-value, and requires secure handling, is safely and efficiently delivered to the participant's nominated address or the clinic for fitting. This support facilitates timely access to equipment that is critical for communication and participation. This item is relevant to equipment under the NDIS Registration Group 0122: Hearing Equipment.

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

High-Cost Hearing Aids: Delivery of complex digital or programmable hearing aids.

Cochlear Implant Components: Delivery of newly purchased or replacement external sound processors.

Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs): Delivery of advanced electronic aids used to improve hearing in specific environments (e.g., FM systems).

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_0122_1_2.
