Frequently asked questions

Who can assess me for assistive technology?
AT assessments are usually done by occupational therapists, physiotherapists, or speech pathologists depending on the type of equipment. Complex assessments may require a specialist AT assessor.
How long does it take to get equipment through the NDIS?
Simple low-cost items can be obtained quickly. Complex or custom equipment (powered wheelchairs, custom seating) can take 3-6 months due to assessment, quoting, approval, manufacturing, and fitting processes.
Can I choose my own equipment?
You have choice, but equipment must meet your functional needs and represent value for money. Your AT assessor will recommend options and the NDIA must approve items above certain cost thresholds.
Does the NDIS fund technology like iPads and computers?
Only if prescribed as assistive technology for a disability-related purpose (e.g., communication device, visual aid, cognitive support tool). General-purpose technology for everyday use is not typically funded.
