Muscular Dystrophy Association of NSW

Equipment

Muscular Dystrophy NSW accepts applications for essential equipment funding required by Muscular Dystrophy NSW members, funds permitting.

Applications are considered where the equipment is not eligible for funding through PADP or the timeline for provision by PADP is not realistic for our members’ quality of life. Equipment must always be prescribed by an occupational therapist.

Members must provide Muscular Dystrophy NSW with a copy of the original application to PADP, along with their response letter and an occupational therapists report, quotes and any other relevant information.

Applications for equipment and vehicle modifications are considered on a case by case situation and are also dependant on funding availability. Funding amounts are capped.
