FAQ

Auslan interpreting for NDIS-related appointments can be funded through your NDIS plan. A plan manager helps ensure these costs are correctly categorised and claimed from your Assistive Technology or Daily Activities budget.

What hearing technology can NDIS fund? +

The NDIS can fund a range of Assistive Technology for hearing, including personal sound amplifiers, alerting devices, captioning services, and cochlear implant upgrades where these are considered reasonable and necessary. Your plan manager processes invoices from your approved AT suppliers.
