NDIS Eligibility: Consider Your Use Case and the List of Supports
This product may require approval from the NDIS depending on your use case. In some cases this might be considered a Replacement Support if used as a communication device.
Note: Assistive Tech is awaiting clarification from the NDIS on the ongoing funding of devices for Capacity Building and Telehealth as detailed in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits following the release of the NDIS List of Supports on 03/10/2024. This eligibility statement will be updated when clarification is received.
NDIS guidance as of 24 June 2022 indicates that 3G, 4G and 5G mobile capability are excluded from being able to be claimed. This means that participants may still purchase this product, but will need to pay for the cellular component. The cellular upgrade for this product is $250, which means this cost will need to be paid from their own money. This participant contribution can be paid on the same invoice.
In addition, NDIS does not fund SIM cards/mobile data plans. When considering this product, you will need to take into consideration the costs for a mobile data plan (NDIS considers this as an every day living cost - utilities).
For general low cost AT purchases, please consider the 64GB Wi-Fi iPad.
We can assist with your Agency (NDIA/NDIS) Managed, Plan Managed or Self Managed order. Assistive Tech is a NDIS Registered Provider that can assist NDIS participants Australia wide.
