At Mobility Aids For You, we understand that navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be complex, especially when it comes to funding for assistive technology (AT). This guide is designed to help you understand how to use your NDIS funding to purchase the products you need from our store.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government initiative that provides support to people with disabilities. It offers funding for various services and products, including assistive technology, to help participants achieve their goals and improve their quality of life.
Assistive technology refers to equipment, devices, or systems that help individuals with disabilities perform tasks that might otherwise be difficult or impossible. This can range from simple items like walking sticks to more complex devices like powered wheelchairs.
For a product to be eligible for NDIS funding, it must meet the following criteria:
For more detailed information, please refer to the NDIS Assistive Technology Explained page.
The NDIS categorizes assistive technology based on cost, which determines the process for funding approval:
Category | Cost Range | Evidence Required |
---|---|---|
Low Cost AT | Under $1,500 per item | No additional evidence needed; use your NDIS budget. |
Mid Cost AT | $1,500 to $15,000 per item | Written evidence or assessment required. |
High Cost AT | Over $15,000 per item | Detailed assessment and quotes required. |

Q: How do I know if a product is NDIS eligible?
A: Most products on our website are eligible for NDIS funding if they meet the criteria for assistive technology. Look for the "NDIS Eligible" badge on product pages or contact us for confirmation.
Q: What if I need a product that costs more than $1,500?
A: For mid and high cost AT, you will need to have the item approved in your NDIS plan. We can provide quotes and assist with the documentation required for your NDIS planner.
Q: Can I use my NDIS funding for multiple purchases?
A: Yes, as long as you have sufficient funding in your plan and the purchases are for eligible AT items.
Q: How long does it take to process an NDIS funded order?
A: For low cost AT, orders are processed immediately upon verification. For mid and high cost AT, processing time may vary depending on the approval from NDIS, typically within 28 days for mid-cost and 50 days for high-cost items.
