How we rank providers
Rankings in South Australia are based on real outcomes between providers and families on our platform. They are recalculated daily and cannot be purchased or influenced by advertising.
- How this list is built. Providers shown here are registered with the NDIS for Assistive Products for Personal Care and Safety, or offer related disability and aged care services and allied health. Generalist providers who only mention this service in passing are excluded, so the list reflects genuine, demonstrated capability.
- Outcomes with families. We measure what happens after a family contacts a provider. Providers where families report positive outcomes rank higher. Multiple signals are weighted across a rolling window.
- Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
- Registration and compliance. NDIS registered and government-approved aged care providers are weighted for meeting quality and safeguards standards.
- Local presence. Providers confirmed in South Australia rank above those covering only the broader region.
What "Trusted" means. The Trusted badge is awarded to providers with a consistent record of positive outcomes with families on our platform. It is based on multiple behavioural signals and family feedback, and it cannot be purchased.

What is body protection equipment?
Body protection equipment is assistive technology such as hip protectors, protective helmets, and padded garments that reduce injury severity during falls, seizures, or behavioural episodes. Under the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27, these items are funded as Assistive Technology when an occupational therapist or physiotherapist assesses the item as related to a participant’s disability and fitted to their specific risk profile.
The point of these items is to reduce harm when an incident happens, not to prevent it. A hip protector cushions the bone during a fall, a helmet takes the impact during a seizure, and padded garments reduce bruising and skin damage. Because the benefit depends on the item being worn correctly and sized to the person, the assessment and fitting matter as much as the product.
Who it is for and how it is funded
Body protection equipment suits people with frequent falls, epilepsy or seizure disorders, post-craniectomy recovery, self-injurious behaviour, or movement disorders such as cerebral palsy. NDIS participants access it through Assistive Technology supports following an AT assessment. Older Australians can access basic items such as hip protectors through the Support at Home Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) Scheme, which sits outside the quarterly service budget, as set out by the Department of Health and Aged Care 2025.
For a participant or older person in South Australia, both funding paths need an assessment before supply, so the practical first step is arranging that assessment with an occupational therapist or physiotherapist who covers South Australia.
Finding a Body Protection Equipment Provider in South Australia
The provider you want in South Australia is one who does both the assessment and the fitting, not only the sale. Ask whether an OT or physiotherapist assesses the risk and measures for size, whether they trial the item before you commit, and how they handle replacement as needs change, since a growing child or a changing condition can outpace a single fitting. Confirming this up front avoids paying for gear that ends up unused in a cupboard.
