Today, the Minister for Families and Social Services, Paul Fletcher announced improvements to the NDIS Assistive Technology (AT) process:

• From 28 February 2019 - National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) can assess replacement for standard AT items, without needing a full re-assessment, and will only require one quote for items valued between $1,500 and $15,000.
• From April 2019 - pilot of a new approach to improve the quality and timeliness of assessment for participants requiring complex and non-standard AT.
• From June 2019 - changes to make it easier for participants to access refurbished or pre-used AT.
