Delivery - Prosthetics and Orthotics

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 Prosthesis or Orthosis Assistive Technology (AT) to the participant.

The purpose of this line item is to ensure that specialised, often custom-made and high-value, prosthetic or orthotic equipment is safely and efficiently transported to the participant, a prosthetist, or an orthotist for fitting and final customisation. This is critical for the timely provision of devices essential for mobility, body function, and participation. This item is relevant to equipment under the NDIS Registration Group 0135: Prosthetics and Orthotics.

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

Custom Prostheses: Delivery of complex, high-technology artificial limbs (upper or lower extremity).

Specialised Orthoses: Delivery of custom-fabricated braces, splints, or other complex supports designed to align, prevent, or correct body deformities or improve function.

Componentry: Delivery of individual high-cost components (e.g., electronic knee joints, microprocessor-controlled feet) required for the assembly of the final device.

This line item ensures that the costs of physically getting the AT components to the required location are covered, separate from the cost of the device itself and the professional services required for prescription and fitting. Claims are made against the specific support number: 05_711000080_0135_1_2.
