1. What is involved in getting the identified assistive technology?
Typically, this involves an assessment, discussion of options, trial of the preferred options identified and thereafter completion of the relevant application documentation to relevant funding body. Once the equipment is funded, you will be informed. Typically, you then need to wait for the funded equipment to be ordered and set-up by the supplier before delivery. This could take between four to six weeks or longer. An appointment will be scheduled with you and relevant others for delivery, fitting and education on the safe use of the equipment.
2. What fees are involved for an assessment, equipment trials and report writing?
Postural Care Clinic is an approved NDIS Registered provider for occupational therapy services. Fees comply with NDIS rates as indicated in https://www.ndis.gov.au/providers/pricing-and-payment.html
