Flexible Equipment Package (For Changing Need)

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item is classified under the Capital - Assistive Technology category and represents a flexible, bundled allocation known as the Flexible AT Package - For Changing Need.

This package is not limited by age group (unlike the Early Childhood packages) and is specifically designed to provide rapid access to low-cost, low-risk Assistive Technology when a participant's support needs are changing, urgent, or short-term. This may apply to participants who have fluctuating health conditions, are awaiting high-cost AT, or are transitioning between settings. The purpose is to prevent gaps in support and maintain safety or independence without the delay of formal quoting and approval processes for small purchases.

While the line item is categorised under the NDIS Registration Group 0103: Personal Care and Safety Equipment, the flexible nature of this package allows it to fund a collection of low-cost items across various AT categories to meet the immediate or transitional need, such as:

Temporary or loan equipment.

Low-cost items needed due to a sudden change in mobility or function.

Simple safety or monitoring devices for short-term use.

The package provides a streamlined funding mechanism for providers to procure items quickly, ensuring the participant's well-being is maintained during periods of change. Claims are made against the specific support number: 05_801288834_0103_1_2.
