Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Allevi8 products, NDIS funding, and our clinical service.

NDIS Funding

To be eligible for NDIS funding, you must be under 65 years old and have a permanent and significant disability that affects your ability to participate in everyday activities. You'll need to meet the functional assessment criteria and meet the financial threshold set by the NDIA. We recommend contacting the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) directly or speaking with our NDIS specialists who can guide you through the eligibility assessment process.

NDIS funding can cover assistive technology devices that support independence, health, and wellbeing. For Allevi8, this typically includes:

  • Adjustable beds for health and comfort support
  • Pressure care mattresses to prevent pressure injuries
  • Lift and recline chairs for mobility assistance
  • Installation and delivery services
  • Training on product use

Coverage depends on your individual plan and goals. Our NDIS coordinators can help determine what's included in your specific plan.

Getting a quote is simple. You can:

  • Call us on 1800 255 348 with your NDIS plan number
  • Email hello@alleviate.com.au with your plan details
  • Book a free in-home consultation where we assess your needs and provide a tailored quote
  • Use our online funding calculator to get an estimate

Once we understand your needs and available funding, we'll provide a detailed quote that aligns with your NDIS plan.

Plan management is a support option within the NDIS where a third-party plan manager helps you manage your NDIS funding. Instead of paying invoices yourself, your plan manager processes payments directly to service providers and equipment suppliers like Allevi8. This removes the administrative burden and helps you track spending. If you have a plan manager, simply provide our company details and they'll handle the payment process. It's a convenient way to manage your NDIS budget without the paperwork.

Yes, Home Care Packages (HCP) can be used to purchase assistive technology devices from Allevi8. HCP funding is specifically designed to support older Australians in remaining independent at home. Adjustable beds, pressure care mattresses, and lift chairs are eligible expenses under HCP. Contact your HCP provider or aged care coordinator to confirm coverage and get approval before purchase. We can work directly with your HCP provider to process claims and arrange delivery.

Products

Absolutely! We offer free in-home trials across Australia. This allows you to test an adjustable bed, lift chair, or pressure mattress in your own home before making a purchase decision. Our clinical team can assess your specific needs, demonstrate the product, and answer all your questions. Most trials last 7-14 days at no cost. Simply contact us at 1800 255 348 or email hello@alleviate.com.au to arrange your free trial today.

Yes, all our adjustable beds, pressure care mattresses, and lift chairs are TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) listed devices. This means they meet strict Australian safety and quality standards for medical devices. Our products are also ARTG (Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods) approved, which confirms they can be prescribed by healthcare professionals and funded through NDIS and Home Care Package programs. You can be confident that Allevi8 products are clinically proven and regulatory approved.

We don't have a traditional fixed showroom, but we offer something better: free in-home consultations and trials. Our clinical specialists can visit your home, demonstrate products in your actual environment, and help you choose what's right for you. This personalized approach means you see the product where you'll actually use it. If you'd prefer to visit our facility in major cities, contact us to arrange an appointment. We pride ourselves on making the process as convenient and accessible as possible.

Choosing the right mattress depends on several factors:

  • Condition: Different conditions benefit from different support types
  • Pressure care needs: If at risk of pressure injuries, we recommend specialized pressure relief mattresses
  • Comfort preference: Memory foam, latex, or spring options available
  • Clinical assessment: Our OT team can assess your specific needs
  • Budget: Options available across different price points

We recommend booking a free in-home consultation where our clinical team evaluates your needs and recommends the best mattress option for you.

Yes, our products can be prescribed by occupational therapists and other healthcare professionals. Because all Allevi8 products are TGA listed and ARTG approved, they're recognized as therapeutic devices that can be clinically recommended.

If you have an OT, they can formally prescribe Allevi8 products as part of your treatment plan.

Yes, Allevi8 has a dedicated clinical advisory team comprising occupational therapists, sleep specialists, and disability support professionals. Our team stays current with latest research and best practices in assistive technology. They conduct in-home assessments, provide clinical guidance, train our staff, and help develop our product offerings. If you have complex clinical needs or require specialized consultation, our clinical team can be engaged to provide expert advice and support.
