Daily Living Aids — What’s Available & Who They Help
Dressing Aids: Long-handled shoe horns, button hooks, sock aids, and dressing sticks allow people with limited bend, reach, or grip to dress independently. These are among the most commonly prescribed low-cost AT items and can dramatically reduce carer time in morning routines.
Adaptive Cutlery & Dining Aids: Weighted, angled, or built-up handle cutlery helps people with tremor, weakness, or grip difficulties eat independently. Plate guards, non-slip mats, and dysphagia cups support safe and dignified mealtimes.
Kitchen & Food Preparation: Jar openers, one-handed cutting boards, electric tin openers, and kettle tippers extend kitchen independence for people with limited hand strength or one-sided weakness.
Reaching & Grabbing Aids: Reacher grabbers allow people to pick up objects from the floor or overhead without bending or stretching beyond their safe range. Particularly useful for people post-hip replacement or those with limited range of movement.
NDIS Funding: Daily living aids are funded under NDIS Assistive Technology (Support Category 05) or Daily Activities supports. Many items under $1,500 can be purchased without an OT assessment. Our pharmacist can advise on eligibility for specific products.
Frequently Asked Questions — Daily Living Aids & NDIS
Are daily living aids funded by NDIS?
Yes. Daily living aids are funded under NDIS Assistive Technology (Support Category 05) or Daily Activities for eligible participants. Many lower-cost items can be purchased without an OT assessment. Connect Mobility provides NDIS-compliant quotes for participants across Australia.
Do I need an OT referral for daily living aids through NDIS?
For most daily living aids under approximately $1,500, an OT assessment is not required. For higher-cost or more complex items, an OT prescription is recommended. Our pharmacist can advise on what’s required for your specific products and plan type.
What’s the most commonly recommended daily living aid?
Reacher grabbers, dressing sticks, and long-handled shoe horns are among the most commonly prescribed. They’re low cost, don’t require an OT report, and immediately reduce carer time and falls risk for people with limited bend or reach.
Can daily living aids help reduce carer hours?
Yes — if an aid enables a participant to dress, eat, or prepare food independently, it directly reduces the support hours required. Our pharmacist can help you frame the clinical case for your OT or support coordinator.
Do you deliver daily living aids Australia-wide?
Yes. We deliver to all states and territories across Australia. Free shipping on orders over $500 nationally. Most daily living aids are small and lightweight and ship quickly via standard courier.
