Equipment

The Motor Neurone Disease Association of WA (MNDAWA) has an equipment pool which is available to people living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND). 

The equipment available can help people living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) to stay mobile, increase independence and can make caring for a person with MND easier.

This service is provided to offer timely access to equipment when it is needed most. Depending on an individual’s funding, whether through NDIS or Aged Care, there can be long waiting periods or inadequate funds to cover equipment needs.

MNDAWA will loan equipment to individuals falling through these funding gaps to ensure no one is left without essential assistive technology. This can enable independence and continuation of normal daily activities.

The MND Association of WA receives donations of equipment as well as financial support to purchase and maintain equipment.

For more information on our equipment please contact the office on 6186 4133 or email equipment@mndawa.asn.au.

MNDAWA has a range of mobility equipment, health aids and assistive technology available. These items come in a range of sizes and with a variety of features. Click view available equipment below to view the equipment we currently have: 

If you require an item that is not listed above, please contact us to discuss your needs. 

How to get equipment

Your equipment request will be processed as soon as possible after your request is received.

Delivery is subject to the completion and return of loan/service agreements. Once the agreements are completed, your order will be processed.

Requests are unable to be processed until the client is registered and the relevant paperwork is completed.

Which health professionals can make a referral to MNDAWA?

Generally, occupational therapists and physiotherapists make referrals around equipment that assist with activities of daily living (ADL), transfers and mobility. Speech Pathologists can make referrals around equipment relating to communication. 

Why do health professionals have to make the referral to MNDAWA?

The health professional makes the referral because they have the skills and knowledge to assess an individuals equipment needs. This will ensure that you receive the most appropriate equipment.

Incorrect use of equipment, or using equipment that is not suitable may put the user, care-givers and others at serious risk of injury.

What if I don’t know a health professional who can give a referral?  

If you need help in finding a suitable health professional please contact your General Practitioner or contact MNDAWA.

What happens once a referral is made? 

Application review

When the application is received it is reviewed by a team member. Particular consideration is given to the urgency and nature of the request, as well as any other avenues the client may have to access equipment (such as available NDIS or My Aged Care funded providers).

Allocation of equipment

Once an equipment referral is received and approved, the MNDAWA Equipment Officer will allocate the item and forward the Equipment Loan Agreement or Service Agreement (if NDIS-funded) to the client involved or their advocate. This agreement needs to be read, signed and returned to MNDAWA. MNDAWA staff will consult with the referring health professional to confirm the details about the equipment required. This helps to ensure that you receive the most suitable equipment.

Delivery

All equipment items will be delivered to your home on a day/time agreed with you unless an alternative delivery arrangement is specifically requested.

Some items require adjustments and specific training. You will need to talk to your referring health care professional about arranging this support. Some items can be set up by the delivery team at the time of delivery, though certain items will require input from the referring health professional.

How do I return equipment?

The client, or their family, is responsible for contacting MNDAWA when an item is no longer used or required and ensuring that the equipment is clean and ready for pick up at the agreed time.

MNDAWA will organise for the item to be picked up.  The sooner an item of equipment is returned, the sooner it will become available for another client.  Sometimes the client or their family may be asked to post back some smaller items at their own cost, for example communication equipment. 

Drop Offs

In some circumstances, you may be able to assist us by droping off equipment to the MNDAWA office. This can only be done in business hours. Please DO NOT drop off equipment unless you have made arrangements to do so with us first.
