What is a NDIS Home Modification ?

Home modifications encompass personalized alterations made to your residence, facilitating your access and utilization of different areas within your household. These modifications can range from minor adjustments, like widening doorways, to more intricate changes affecting multiple sections of your home. For instance, combining your bathroom and toilet might be necessary to create sufficient space for using equipment such as hoists or shower chairs. Home modifications become essential if you encounter safety concerns, mobility challenges, or obstacles in utilizing specific rooms or pursuing your goals due to your disability. Moreover, these alterations can extend to accommodate the safety of your caregivers.

In addition to home modifications, we also offer support for home adaptations and assistive technology. This includes funding for equipment like grab rails, accessible tapware, and portable ramps, which are regarded as low-cost assistive technology aids. These recommendations, often suggested by occupational therapists, can be readily acquired from retail stores such as hardware shops and can be installed by accredited tradespeople.

How can you get NDIS home modifications in your plan?

To arrange home modifications, it’s advisable to engage in a discussion with your planner, local area coordinator, or early childhood partner. The type of documentation required to ascertain funding eligibility for your home modification hinges on whether it is a minor adjustment or a more intricate alteration. The NDIS necessitates an evaluation of your home and living requirements before approving funds for home modifications. It is crucial not to invest in any financial resources for home modification support until it is officially approved in your plan by the NDIS. Depending on your circumstances, alternative forms of home and living assistance or assistive technology might be more suitable. The NDIS Participant Service Guarantee outlines specific timeframes for decision-making and plan adjustments.
