Empowering Families with Mobility and Independence
At Astris PME, we help families like Alfie’s discover greater freedom with our innovative range of Assistive Technology equipment. Our tailored solutions are designed to support children and teens with diverse needs, empowering independence and making everyday life easier.
Partnering with therapists, we ensure the best outcomes for kids of all ages. With an extensive range of trial equipment, finding the perfect solution has never been simpler.
Enjoy free trials across NSW, ACT, VIC, QLD, and WA. Contact us today and take the first step toward greater mobility and independence!
More flexibility, less hassle – and it doesn’t cost you anything extra!
You don’t have to choose between self-managing or plan-managing your child’s NDIS Plan. You can do both! It just depends on how hands-on you want to be with managing each aspect of their plan.
You might choose to self-manage Core supports so you can arrange your child’s daily supports directly, while plan-managing Capacity Building budgets to have therapy invoices paid and tracked for you.
With Leap in! plan management, everything stays connected in the Leap in! app, where you can view claims, payments and budgets in real time – without the burden of chasing invoices or juggling paperwork.
More flexibility, less hassle – and it doesn’t cost you anything extra! Call 1300 05 78 78 or email crew@leapin.com.au to find out more about your options.
