About These Tools
What are support assessment tools? These tools help individuals, families, businesses, and NDIS participants identify what level of tech support they need — from a one-off setup visit to ongoing IT management.
For NDIS participants: The NDIS tech support assessment generates a summary you can share with your support coordinator to help identify which tech supports may be appropriate for your plan goals.
