AT-HM / ATHM Senior Funding Guide

Could Exo Motion be free under AT-HM for an Australian senior?

An eligible Support at Home participant may be approved for assistive technology through AT-HM after assessment. Start with a free Exo Motion consultation and eligible Sydney home visit with fitting and training. Exo Motion Pro costs A$2,499. The assessor and provider decide whether the product is suitable, approved and funded.

Important: Exo Motion does not advertise a guaranteed free exoskeleton program for Australian seniors. This page is written for people searching phrases such as free Exo Motion exoskeleton under AT-HM, free exo motion exo skeleton ATHM, free exo skeleton for seniors Australia, government funded exoskeleton, aged care walking assistance device and mobility assistance equipment for elderly parents. It explains the pathway without promising approval.

Purchase price

A$2,499

Includes personal fitting, training and a 12-month written warranty, in addition to applicable Australian Consumer Law rights.

Potential no-upfront-cost pathway

If approved

Support at Home / AT-HM, provider-funded or other pathways may be explored where relevant, but the decision is made by the provider, assessor or funding body, not Exo Motion.

Australian regulatory status

ARTG Class I

Current supplier documentation records ARTG inclusion as a Class I medical device. This does not guarantee suitability, outcomes or funding.

If funding is not approved or is still pending: a suitable older adult may enquire about private senior rental at A$129 per week with a four-week minimum. The initial term is A$516. Stock, service area, fitting, written rental terms, security arrangements and periodic equipment checks apply. Review the weekly option.

How To Think About Funding

“Free” usually means someone else has approved and paid.

When families search for a free exoskeleton for Australian seniors, they are usually asking whether a government program, provider, package, insurer or care pathway can cover the cost. That is different from Exo Motion giving away the equipment for free.

Official Support at Home guidance says assistive technology and home modifications are assessed separately. Older people are assessed as part of aged-care assessment, and any approval is recorded in a Notice of Decision and support plan. Funding tiers, participant contributions, provider process and documentation requirements can all affect the final out-of-pocket amount.

Exo Motion can support the practical product side: product specifications, fitting notes, safety guidance, purchase quote, intended-use explanation and provider documentation. Exo Motion cannot guarantee that a wearable robot, exoskeleton, hip-assist device or walking assistance device will be approved for funding.

What Families Mean By Free

“Free under AT-HM” means the funding pathway pays, not an automatic giveaway.

Some families ask whether they can receive a free Exo Motion exoskeleton under AT-HM or ATHM. The practical answer is that Exo Motion Pro has a listed purchase price, and a free, funded, subsidised or no-upfront-cost outcome only exists if the relevant aged-care pathway approves the support and confirms any participant contribution.

That is why the best first step is not a payment decision. It is a suitability and documentation discussion: who will use the device, what walking goals matter, whether the person can walk independently, whether an OT or provider is involved, and what written quote or product information is needed for review.

Customer Process

How to explore Exo Motion Pro purchase with AT-HM or provider funding.

1. Book the free home visit

Confirm the intended user can walk independently, is 190 cm or under, is within 40 kg to 150 kg and has practical walking goals. We provide fitting and guided training.

2. Speak with provider or OT

If funding may be relevant, discuss walking goals, falls risk, home environment, supervision needs and whether assistive technology documentation should be reviewed.

3. Request Exo Motion documents

We can provide product specifications, safety information, fitting notes and a written A$2,499 purchase quote for review.

4. Funding review

Your provider, assessor or relevant funding body decides whether AT-HM, Support at Home or another pathway applies. Exo Motion does not approve funding.

5. Confirm cost

Before relying on funding, confirm approval, participant contribution, out-of-pocket amount, payment process and timing with the relevant provider.

6. Purchase and support

If suitable and approved, Exo Motion confirms purchase, delivery, fitting, training, after-sales support and the 12-month warranty in writing.

Who This Helps

For adult children researching mobility assistance for a parent.

Parent still walks independently

Exo Motion Pro is for suitable users who can already walk and follow fitting guidance, but want extra support for fatigue, stairs, gentle slopes, gardens, shopping centres or community outings.

Family wants a clear purchase path

Some families prefer to buy directly and then keep provider or funding documents on file. Others want a provider or OT to review the product before purchase.

Provider documentation is needed

Where relevant, Exo Motion can prepare product details, fitting notes and purchase quote information for Support at Home coordinators, OTs, providers or aged-care records.

FAQ

Free exoskeleton and funding questions.

Can Exo Motion Pro be free under AT-HM or ATHM?

Possibly in approved cases, but Exo Motion does not guarantee a free device. The purchase price is A$2,499. Any funded, subsidised or no-upfront-cost outcome must be confirmed through the relevant provider, assessor or Support at Home AT-HM process.

Can I ask about funding before buying?

Yes. Start with an enquiry and tell us whether you are self-funded, provider-funded, speaking with an OT, or exploring Support at Home / AT-HM documentation. We can prepare product information and purchase quote details for review.

Can I buy it for my mother or father?

Yes, if the intended user is suitable. The person should be able to walk independently, fit the supported height and weight range, follow fitting guidance and use the device in an appropriate environment.

What if AT-HM funding is not approved?

A suitable person may still buy privately or enquire about private senior rental at A$129 per week with a four-week minimum. The initial term is A$516 and written rental conditions apply.

Is this a medical treatment?

No. Exo Motion Pro is a wearable walking assistance device. It is not a replacement for clinical care, therapy, prescribed mobility aids, a wheelchair, a walker or medical advice.
