COVID-19 Low Cost AT to support Capacity Building support delivery

Line Item Description

The NDIS Support Item 15_222400911_0124_1_3 Low Cost AT - Support Capacity Building was a temporary support line item designed to fund the purchase of certain low-cost, low-risk assistive technology (AT).

This item was unique because it allowed the cost of the AT to be claimed from a participant's Capacity Building support budget, rather than the traditional Capital support budget. This was often used for common, everyday items that enhance a participant’s independence and assist with daily life tasks, such as modified kitchen aids, communication devices, or specialized adaptive equipment. The core purpose of classifying it under Capacity Building was to enable a quick, flexible purchase process for essential low-cost items, supporting the participant's functional capacity and skill development.
