Everyday Essentials: Assistive Technology & Consumables for Your NDIS Core Supports

The NDIS "Core Supports" budget is designed to provide flexibility in managing your everyday activities and current disability-related needs, helping you work towards your goals. It often covers essential items and assistance that make daily life easier and more independent. At LowCostAT, we offer a wide range of products that align perfectly with key areas of your Core Supports budget, particularly Consumables and low-cost Assistive Technology (AT) for daily activities.

Our Core Supports Essentials collection focuses on providing practical, affordable solutions (all under $1500) to meet these fundamental needs:

Consumables for Daily Needs: 

This is a key part of the Core budget, and we stock a variety of everyday items you might require, such as:

• Continence Products: Including protective underwear, bed protection, and related supplies.
• Low-Cost Assistive Technology & Equipment: Simple, effective tools that improve independence and mobility, often falling into the consumables category due to their nature or price point. This can include items like dressing aids, eating utensils, or basic grabbers.
• Specialized Cleaning & Hygiene Supplies: Products that assist with maintaining a healthy and accessible living environment.

Assistance with Daily Life (through AT): 

While Core Supports can fund support workers, it also accommodates assistive technology that helps you perform daily tasks more independently. Our collection includes:

• Personal Care Aids: Tools to assist with grooming, bathing, and other personal hygiene tasks.
• Kitchen & Household Helpers: Adaptive gadgets and aids that make cooking, cleaning, and managing a household easier.
• Basic Mobility & Transfer Aids: Simple supports that can improve safety and ease of movement around the home.
• Routine & Medication Management Tools: Low-cost aids to help with organization and adherence to daily schedules.

Supporting Social & Community Participation (through AT): 

While direct support for participation is often a service, some low-cost AT can facilitate this:

• Simple Communication Tools or Aids: Basic items that can help with interaction in community settings.
• Aids for Hobbies & Recreation: Low-cost adaptive tools for engaging in enjoyable activities.

The flexibility of the NDIS Core Supports budget means you can often allocate funds to the items that best meet your immediate needs. LowCostAT is committed to providing a comprehensive range of expert-backed, affordable products that empower you to make the most of this flexibility. By offering essential assistive technology and consumables under $1500, we help you manage your daily life effectively and work towards greater independence without financial burden.
