Astalty for Chrome

Overview

Astalty for Chrome helps you look up NDIS support items and calculate budgets from your browser. Follow the installation link on that page, then open the extension from Chrome's toolbar.

Each tool shows the price guide it uses beside Prices From. A new installation starts on an older guide, so select the cog icon in the side toolbar and choose the newest one under Select Price Guide. The Region on the same screen sets which regional prices are shown. Changing the price guide clears the Budget Builder.
