What is AT Mentoring?

Peer advice to help you reach your AT goals

What is AT Mentoring? 

AT Mentoring uses a peer support model to provide AT information, support, and letters of advice for AT funding to NDIS participants.

Using their lived experience of disability, AT Mentors research, compare, and present equipment or technology options that will best suit your needs to reach your goals.

Our qualified AT Mentors also provide advice or letters of advice for purchasing low risk AT up to the value of $15,000 under the NDIS funding scheme.

Working with you, AT Mentors work hard to find the best AT solution for you.
