For people living with young onset Parkinson’s, the National Equipment Database (NED) can help you find assistive technology and equipment that supports independence, work, family responsibilities, and daily living. NED contains more than 40,000 products and provides both information and purchasing options in one place.
- Search for assistive technology products across a wide range of categories, including mobility, communication, daily living, education, recreation, and employment support.
- Find equipment to support symptoms and functional changes associated with Parkinson’s, such as walking aids, personal care products, dressing aids, eating and drinking aids, and bathroom equipment.
- Explore solutions room by room through the “AT Home with NED” resource, which guides users through assistive technology options for the home, community, and everyday activities.
- Compare products and suppliers in one location, making it easier to identify equipment that matches your needs, goals, and lifestyle.
- Access independent advice from experienced assistive technology professionals through NED’s advice line 1300 885 886.
- Investigate equipment before applying for funding, which may help when preparing applications for schemes such as the NDIS, workplace adjustments, or other funding supports.
