What is AT?

AT, or assistive technology, is equipment or devices that help people to do things safer, easier or more independently.

If you think that AT could benefit you, an assistive technology assessment can support applications for funding from the NDIS.

What to expect when booking with us.

Step 1

Organising an Appointment

Depending on the clients’ needs, an occupational therapist, physiotherapist or speech pathologist will arrange a convenient appointment time.

Specialised Assessment

The assessment will take anywhere from 1-4 hours and our clients have the opportunity to trial various options to find the most appropriate item for their needs.

Step 3

Submission to the NDIS

The therapist will submit a report detailing the results of the assessment to the NDIS, which will support your application for AT funding.

Step 4

Sourcing Equipment

Our team is familiar with challenges of sourcing equipment in rural and remote Australia. We have built relationships with local providers to ensure every client receives the equipment they need.

Step 5

Professional Training

Therapists will support the client through every step of the process. We will continue to provide support until the client and their families/carers feel confident to operate the prescribed equipment.
