If you are an NDIS participant or you support someone on the NDIS, you may ask: ‘What is Assistive Technology (AT)?’, ‘How do I access AT?’ and ‘Who pays for it?’.

AT includes a wide range of tools and devices that assist people with disability to achieve their goals in everyday life safely and live more independently.

This guide will explain what Assistive Technology is, the different types of AT, what makes AT different from other home modifications and home adaptations, and how to apply for NDIS funding to get AT in an NDIS plan.
