What is hoist and transfer equipment?
Hoist and transfer equipment covers ceiling hoists, mobile floor hoists, sit-to-stand lifters, slings, transfer boards and slide sheets used to move a person safely when they cannot stand or transfer independently. Under NDIS Pricing Arrangements 2026-27, these items sit within the Assistive Technology support category and require prescription by a qualified occupational therapist or physiotherapist before supply or installation.
For a household in Northern Territory, the right hoist depends as much on the home as on the person. A ceiling hoist needs a track fitted to the structure, while a mobile floor hoist needs clear floor space and firm surfaces to roll over. This is why an in-home assessment matters: the therapist checks doorways, room layout and who will be doing the transfers before recommending a specific model.
Who it is for and how it is funded
Hoist and transfer equipment is for people who cannot safely bear weight during transfers, including NDIS participants with physical or degenerative conditions and older Australians with reduced mobility. NDIS participants access it through the Assistive Technology category with an OT or physiotherapist assessment report. Older Australians in Northern Territory access it through the AT-HM scheme within Support at Home, where high-cost items such as ceiling hoists typically sit in the Tier 3 funding band (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025).
Finding a hoist provider in Northern Territory
Getting a hoist in place usually involves two roles: the therapist who assesses and prescribes, and the supplier who delivers, installs and shows carers how to use it safely. When you look for a provider in Northern Territory, check that both parts are covered, because a hoist supplied without training on slings and safe technique is a manual handling risk rather than a help. Correct sling sizing and fit are part of that handover.
Availability on Carevo
Carevo lists 28,038 providers nationally, including allied health professionals who complete hoist assessments and equipment suppliers who install and train carers.
