Last reviewed October 2026 · 4 min read · Reviewed by the Prestige HCA operations team

Assistive technology (AT) is any equipment or device that helps you do things more easily or safely, from a shower chair to a powered wheelchair. The NDIS funds AT in your Capital budget, with evidence from a therapist for higher-cost items.

  • Low cost (under $1,500): usually no quote needed
  • Mid and high cost: an AT assessment and quotes

Our workers are trained to use the equipment in your plan safely.
