- assistance with personal domestic activities and self‑care activities
- personal aids and appliances, such as wheelchairs, scooters and hoists
- assistance technology, such as household aids and appliances and computer software
- vehicle modifications, such as accessories or adaptations for driver control and car access lifters or hoists
- home modifications, such as necessary renovations or installations, slip resistant coatings, grab rails, guide rails and ramps.
You’ll need to provide documents to support your information. The form will tell you what documents to provide.
