How do I apply?
You need to be assessed by an appropriate health professional/AT Practitioner from your local area (physiotherapist, occupational therapist, or similar) who will help you determine the most
suitable AT item or modification needed. This includes an assessment of
whether you or your carer can safely use the AT item. Your health
professional/AT Practitioner will complete the online form for the AT item or modification that is needed.
What happens when the assessment is done?
Once the assessment is completed, your healthcare professional/AT Practitioner will submit the application and supporting documents to SWEP electronically on your behalf.
What happens when the application has been processed?
Once your application has been processed SWEP will contact you to let you know
what happens next. Reissued AT items are provided where possible. If
reissue AT items or funds are not available immediately the application may
need to go on a waiting list.
