Consumable & Assistive Technology (AT)
What is the difference between Consumables and Assistive Technology (AT)?
"Assistive Technology" (AT) is the NDIS's term for equipment - it can be small/simple items that are relatively low cost (often known as low cost, low risk AT or 'consumables') or it can be more complex personalised items such as wheelchairs, shower commodes, and leg splints (AFOs)

Often called Low Cost, Low Risk Assistive Technology (AT). These items are everyday items that you may help you with everyday tasks, mobility, vision, or hearing
