Specialised Equipment & Assistive Technology Prescription on the Sunshine Coast & Gympie
On Track Rehab provides mobile assistive technology and specialised equipment prescription on the Sunshine Coast, in Gympie, and across the surrounding regions — assessing you in your own home, vehicle, and community, where the equipment will actually be used. The right equipment can transform independence, safety, comfort, and participation, but choosing it well takes skilled assessment. Our experienced occupational therapists and physiotherapists match the right solution to your needs and goals, trial options where possible, and prepare the detailed reports funders require — so your equipment is appropriate, safe, and funded.
Assistive technology & equipment prescription on the Sunshine Coast & Gympie
Assistive technology (AT) — also called specialised or adaptive equipment — is any device or modification that helps you move, transfer, care for yourself, participate, and live more independently and safely. Prescribing it well is far more than picking a product from a catalogue: it involves a thorough assessment of your abilities, goals, and environment, trialling options, considering your long-term needs, and specifying exactly the right item and configuration. Getting this right the first time protects your safety, your independence, and your funding.

Reports for funders — helping you secure funding
Specialised equipment is often a significant investment, and funders require strong, well-reasoned evidence before they approve it. We prepare clear, professional assistive technology assessment reports that document your functional needs, the options trialled, our clinical reasoning, and our specific recommendations — giving funders exactly what they need to make a decision. Our reporting includes:
- NDIS assistive technology assessments and reports across low-cost, mid-cost, and high-cost AT, including complex AT.
- Home modification assessments and reports, from minor modifications to scoping complex changes.
- Vehicle and car modification assessment reports.
- Supporting evidence, equipment trials, quotes, and specifications to accompany funding requests.
- Liaison with funders, support coordinators, plan managers, and suppliers to help requests progress smoothly.
We can prepare reports for a range of funders, including the NDIS, My Aged Care, icare, NIISQ, CTP insurers, the TAC, DVA, and private funding.
