FAQs

Assistive Technology Assessments: your questions answered

Common questions about assistive technology assessments from NDIS participants, families and support coordinators across Liverpool and Western Sydney.

What is an assistive technology (AT) assessment?

An assistive technology assessment is an occupational therapy assessment that identifies equipment or technology to help you complete everyday tasks more safely and independently. Your therapist reviews your needs, goals and environment, then recommends specific assistive technology in a written report.

What kinds of assistive technology can be assessed?

Assistive technology covers a wide range of items, including mobility aids such as wheelchairs and walkers, bathroom and toileting aids, beds and pressure care, and communication or sensory devices. The assessment focuses on the equipment that best matches your goals and daily needs.

Who needs an assistive technology assessment?

You may benefit from an AT assessment if equipment could help you move around, care for yourself, or take part in daily activities more safely. NDIS participants often need one to provide evidence for assistive technology requests.

What happens during the assessment?

Your occupational therapist talks with you about your goals and daily routines, assesses your function and environment, and where helpful may trial different equipment with you. They then prepare a report recommending the most suitable assistive technology and the reasons for it.

Will the NDIS fund my assistive technology?

Assistive technology may be funded under your NDIS plan, depending on your plan, your goals and the type of equipment. Higher cost assistive technology usually needs an occupational therapy assessment and clear justification, so it is best to check with your support coordinator or planner before purchasing.

Who completes the assessment?

Your assessment is completed by a registered occupational therapist who is qualified to assess your needs and recommend appropriate assistive technology. Occupational therapists are registered with the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia through AHPRA.

How long does it take, and when will I get the report?

An AT assessment is usually completed across one or more sessions, sometimes including equipment trials, followed by a written report. Timeframes vary with the complexity of the equipment, so we confirm what to expect when you book.

How do I arrange an assistive technology assessment?

You can arrange an assistive technology assessment by contacting Youcentric Care Group directly, or by asking your support coordinator, GP or allied health professional to send a referral. Call 1300 316 664 or email [email protected] and our team will guide you through the next steps.
