Introduction

Technology has transformed the way people live, communicate, and maintain their independence. For individuals living with disability, the right assistive technology can significantly improve everyday life by making daily tasks easier, safer, and more manageable.

Through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), eligible participants can access funding for assistive technology that supports their goals, enhances independence, and improves overall quality of life.

At Bright Lilly Healthcare, we help participants in Perth understand their options and access personalised NDIS supports that complement assistive technology, ensuring they can live confidently and independently in their homes and communities.

What is NDIS Assistive Technology?

NDIS Assistive Technology refers to equipment, devices, and products that help participants perform everyday activities more independently.

These solutions are designed to reduce barriers, improve mobility, increase safety, and support communication, education, employment, and community participation.

Assistive technology can range from simple daily living aids to advanced electronic equipment depending on each participant’s individual needs and NDIS goals.

Types of Assistive Technology Available Through the NDIS

The NDIS funds a wide variety of assistive technology based on a participant’s disability, goals, and functional needs.

Common examples include:

Mobility aids such as wheelchairs and walkers
Shower chairs and bathroom safety equipment
Communication devices
Hearing support technology
Vision assistance equipment
Adjustable beds and seating
Smart home technology
Daily living aids for cooking and dressing
Pressure care equipment
Transfer and lifting equipment

Every participant receives recommendations based on professional assessments and their approved NDIS plan.

How Assistive Technology Improves Everyday Life

The right assistive technology can create meaningful improvements across many aspects of daily living.

Greater Independence

Assistive devices help participants complete everyday tasks with less reliance on others, allowing them to live more independently and confidently.

Improved Safety

Safety equipment reduces the risk of falls, injuries, and accidents both at home and within the community.

Better Mobility

Mobility equipment enables participants to move around more freely, access public spaces, and participate in community activities.

Enhanced Communication

Communication devices help individuals express themselves, interact with others, and participate in education, employment, and social settings.

Increased Confidence

When participants can perform daily activities independently, their confidence and overall wellbeing naturally improve.

Who Can Access NDIS Assistive Technology?

Participants may be eligible for assistive technology funding if it is considered reasonable and necessary to achieve the goals outlined in their NDIS plan.

Funding decisions consider factors such as:

Individual support needs
Functional capacity
Long-term benefits
Safety requirements
Value for money

Working with experienced NDIS providers helps participants identify suitable assistive technology that supports their everyday goals.
