Delivery - Communication and Information AT

Line Item Description

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

The purpose of this line item is to ensure that specialised electronic communication and information devices, which are often delicate, high-value, and require secure transport, are safely and efficiently delivered to the participant's nominated address or a service provider's location for setup. Timely access to this equipment is critical for communication, education, employment, and social engagement. This item is relevant to equipment under the NDIS Registration Group 0124: Communication and Information Equipment.

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

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Devices: Delivery of complex speech-generating devices (SGDs) and other dedicated communication aids.

Specialised Computer Access Equipment: Delivery of high-cost eye-gaze systems, specialised input devices, or complex computer hardware.

Information Technology Aids: Delivery of electronic devices and software/hardware combinations designed to provide information access and cognitive support.

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_0124_1_2.
