Early Childhood Flexible AT Package 2

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item, funded under the Capital - Assistive Technology category, represents a bundled, flexible funding package known as the Early Childhood Flexible Assistive Technology Package 2.

Similar to Package 1, this support is exclusively for NDIS participants aged 0 to 6 years who are engaged in the Early Childhood (EC) approach. However, this package is intended to fund a collection of low-risk, mid-range cost Assistive Technology items, providing a higher overall annual limit than Package 1 to cover more substantial or complex needs within the low-risk category. The mechanism offers a streamlined pathway for AT procurement without requiring individual quotes for every single item.

This flexibility ensures that EC providers and families can promptly access a wider variety of equipment critical for the child's developmental goals. The line item is categorised under the NDIS Registration Group 0103: Personal Care and Safety Equipment, but the funds can be used for various low-risk AT that supports early childhood development, such as:

More customised or durable personal care equipment.

More complex seating or positioning aids (e.g., specialised high chairs or floor sitters).

Intermediate communication or sensory items.

The package is designed to support the child's independence, inclusion, and participation in everyday activities. Claims are made against the specific support number: 05_800288834_0103_1_2.
