Early Childhood Flexible AT Package 1

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item, falling under the Capital - Assistive Technology category, represents a bundled, flexible funding package known as the Early Childhood Flexible Assistive Technology Package 1.

This package is specifically designed for young NDIS participants aged 0 to 6 years who are receiving support through the Early Childhood (EC) approach. It is intended to simplify and expedite the provision of low-risk, low-cost Assistive Technology without the need for detailed quotes or complex approval processes. This flexibility allows parents and EC providers to quickly access and implement a range of items that support the child's development and independence.

The funding within this package is typically used for a collection of low-cost items, rather than a single expensive piece of equipment. The line item is categorised under the NDIS Registration Group 0103: Personal Care and Safety Equipment, but the nature of a flexible package means it can cover various low-cost AT that supports early childhood goals, such as:

Minor personal care items (e.g., modified eating utensils, bath supports).

Simple mobility aids (e.g., small walkers, tricycles).

Simple communication or sensory items (e.g., basic switches, visual schedules).

The package is available up to an annual limit, and providers can claim against this line item to purchase multiple items, streamlining the process for Early Childhood intervention supports. Claims are made against the specific support number: 05_800188834_0103_1_2.
