Program delivery
Are the AT Mentors qualified?
Our AT Mentors are experienced AT users with a Certificate IV in AT Mentoring and understanding of the NDIS. They use their lived experience of disability, and knowledge to research and compare low risk, low-mid cost AT equipment or technology options that will best suit your needs. They will then provide written recommendations and help you choose the AT that will work best for you. This program is currently under review and may not be available. Please enquire for more information.
What's the difference between an AT Mentor, an AT Advisor, and an AT assessor?
Our AT Mentors have a Certificate IV in AT Mentoring and fit within the NDIS designation of AT Advisor.
AT Advisors may be an allied health practitioner, continence nurses, rehabilitation engineers, or AT Mentors.
AT Assessors must have a university or equivalent degree relevant for providing AT assessments and belong to a professional registration organisation such as the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
