Where can I find Assistive Technology and Mobility Equipment in the Newcastle area?

Before you go looking for mobility equipment or assistive technology, you should first, check to see if you are entitled to any funding or additional support. Those who have been assessed and approved under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), need only check their NDIS plan or talk to their Case Managers to see if they are eligible.

As we know, everything changes over time, so if you feel you may need these items in the future or if you have only just started your application process for the NDIS, then you can see what is covered by checking the NDIA Assistive Technology and Consumables Code Guide.
