What is a specialist seating assessment?
A specialist seating assessment is a clinical evaluation, usually by an occupational therapist or physiotherapist with postural training, that measures posture, pressure distribution and functional movement to prescribe the right wheelchair cushion, backrest or custom-moulded seating system. The NDIS lists it as an Assistive Technology assessment support under NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27.
How to choose a provider for this service
The list at the top of this page is ranked using the criteria explained in the methodology above it. For a seating assessment, four checks matter most.
Registration. Confirm the assessor is an AHPRA-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist with seating and postural training, not a general therapist doing an occasional assessment.
Response time. A pressure injury or a new wheelchair prescription is often urgent, so check how fast a provider actually replies rather than how fast they claim to. Carevo tracks response times across its 642 listed occupational therapists nationally.
Pricing transparency. Ask whether the quoted fee covers the full assessment report needed to support an NDIS Assistive Technology request, or whether report-writing is billed as a separate line item.
Coverage. Confirm the assessor travels to your home or care setting, since seating is best assessed in the chair and environment the person actually uses.
Which funding pays for a specialist seating assessment, and who qualifies?
NDIS participants access the assessment itself under Capacity Building - Improved Daily Living, while any prescribed cushion, backrest or custom-moulded system is funded separately under Core Supports - Assistive Technology once the therapist’s report supports the request (NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27). You qualify if postural support, pressure care or mobility goals sit in your plan; complex or high-cost seating over the AT threshold needs NDIA quoting and approval first. Support at Home participants can have a seating assessment and pressure-relief equipment funded under the assistive technology and home modifications budget, subject to the program’s income-tested contribution rules (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025). CHSP does not fund clinical seating assessments. DVA Gold Card holders can access one through the Rehabilitation Appliances Program.
Where specialist seating assessment providers are available
Carevo lists 642 occupational therapists among 28,004 NDIS-registered providers across 4,782 suburbs nationally, with allied health enquiries answered inside 24 hours 94 percent of the time. Seating assessments are often booked alongside wheelchair and mobility equipment for the frame itself, or bed and pressure care equipment for overnight positioning.
How this page is compiled
The provider rankings and figures on this page come from Carevo platform records, including provider registrations, measured response times and coverage, together with the cited official sources. Carevo is an Australian platform that connects families with vetted NDIS and aged care providers. Carevo does not deliver care itself.
