Early Childhood Flexible AT Package 3

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 3.

This package is designed exclusively for NDIS participants aged 0 to 6 years who are engaged in the Early Childhood (EC) approach. It offers the highest annual limit of the Flexible AT Packages to cover the costs of a collection of low-risk, higher-cost Assistive Technology items. This streamlined funding approach is crucial for facilitating the timely provision of equipment that is essential for a young child's development, social inclusion, and family participation, bypassing the need for individual quotes for multiple low-risk items.

While the line item is categorised under the NDIS Registration Group 0103: Personal Care and Safety Equipment, the nature of a flexible package allows it to fund a variety of low-risk AT across categories, including items such as:

Higher-cost seating and positioning systems required for specific developmental needs.

Intermediate mobility aids (e.g., custom strollers, paediatric equipment).

More advanced communication or electronic leisure aids that are still deemed low-risk.

The package aims to provide flexible, efficient access to AT to support the goals identified in the child's plan. Claims are made against the specific support number: 05_800388834_0103_1_2.
