For NDIS participants managing mobility limitations, chronic health conditions, or disability support at home, the right bed setup can make all the difference. From improving comfort to reducing the risk of injury, NDIS funded aged care beds and essential accessories play a critical role in promoting safe, independent living.
This guide explains how NDIS funding applies to beds and related items, outlines eligibility pathways, and highlights locally available options in Adelaide for trials and personalised support.
What Kind of Beds and Accessories Are Covered by NDIS?
The NDIS recognises assistive technology (AT) as equipment that helps participants achieve their goals for daily living and mobility. For eligible individuals, this includes a wide range of NDIS approved aged care beds, such as:
- Electric hi-low beds
- Voice-controlled homecare beds
- Beds with backrest and leg elevation functions
- Fall-prevention and safety accessories (e.g. side rails, support bars)
You can explore our full collection of Aged Home Care Beds here.
Essential bed accessories may also be covered under NDIS if they are clinically justified. These can include:
- Foldable Steel Side Rails to prevent rolling or falls
- Portable Power Beds with Side Rails for flexible, low-profile setups
- Lifting poles and adjustable overbed tables
- Voice or remote controls for easier bed management
Eligibility Requirements and Funding Pathways
To access NDIS funding for beds or accessories, the following are typically required:
1. AT Assessment by an Allied Health Professional
An occupational therapist (OT) or physiotherapist must assess the participant’s functional needs and recommend an appropriate bed solution. The report should link the equipment directly to the participant’s NDIS goals.
2. Quote and Product Description
NDIS requires a detailed quote from a registered provider. You can request a quote here for beds and accessories sold through Adelaide Healthcare Equipment.
3. Funding Category
Most beds fall under Assistive Technology – Capital Supports (Levels 3–4). Accessories like side rails may be covered as low-cost AT depending on complexity and safety needs.
4. Plan Approval and Purchase
Once approved, the purchase can be made using your NDIS plan budget. For participants needing help through the process, our team is ready to assist with documentation and order coordination.
