Low-cost assistive technology

Low-cost assistive technology is equipment under the threshold set in the Pricing Arrangements. Depending on how a plan is managed, it can sometimes be purchased without a quote - check your plan first.

Higher-cost assistive technology usually needs a quote and an assessment from an occupational therapist or another qualified assessor before the NDIS will consider it.

The threshold that separates the two tiers is a published dollar figure rather than a judgement about how important an item is, and both tiers sit inside the capital supports budget alongside home and vehicle modifications.
