What is Low Cost Assistive Technology?

In plain English

Assistive technology under a set dollar value that you can usually buy without a quote or assessment, such as a basic shower stool or large grip cutlery.

Low cost assistive technology is everyday equipment under a set dollar value that you can usually buy without a quote or a formal assessment. Examples include a basic shower stool, large grip cutlery, a non slip mat or simple communication aids. The lighter rules make it quick to get small items that genuinely help. If you are unsure whether something qualifies, a plan manager or support coordinator can guide you.
