Understanding Mobility Support Through the NDIS
Mobility limitations can greatly impact a person’s ability to live independently, travel safely, or engage within the community. That’s where the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plays a vital role. At AH Healthcare, a trusted name among NDIS service providers in Perth, we help participants access the right mobility assistance devices tailored to their unique needs and funded through their NDIS plan.
What Counts as Mobility Assistance?
Mobility assistance covers a wide range of devices designed to support movement and improve daily functionality. These include manual and powered wheelchairs, mobility scooters, walking frames, and more complex aids for specialised needs. These devices are classified as “assistive technology” under the NDIS and are designed to help participants achieve greater independence at home, in their workplace, or within the community.
Categories of NDIS-Funded Mobility Devices
The NDIS generally categorises mobility devices into four levels, with level 3 and level 4 requiring professional assessments. For example, a mobility scooter is often considered specialised (level 3) or complex (level 4) technology. At AH Healthcare, we supply a full range of NDIS-approved scooters, including bariatric models, knee scooters, and electric wheelchairs—each suited to different mobility needs and funding criteria.
To access this funding, participants must undergo an assessment from an occupational therapist or a qualified assessor. This professional evaluation ensures that the chosen device matches the participant’s functional capacity and environment. Once the assessment is complete, AH Healthcare can assist with detailed quotations to help streamline the approval process.
