FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
What are the most common disability home modifications?
Common disability modifications include grab rails in bathrooms, ramps for step-free access, widened doorways for wheelchairs, non-slip flooring, accessible bathrooms, and kitchen layout adjustments. Depending on the individual's needs, modifications might also include stair lifts, height-adjusted benchtops, lever-style door handles, and improved lighting for visibility. The goal is to remove barriers, reduce risk of falls, and allow for greater independence in daily living.
Does NDIS cover home modifications?
Yes, the NDIS may fund home modifications for eligible participants if the changes are considered reasonable and necessary. This includes both minor adjustments (like handrails or tapware) and complex modifications (like bathroom conversions or major structural changes). Approval usually requires an occupational therapist’s assessment and a quote from a licensed builder. Funding depends on the participant’s plan, goals, and support needs, and must be related to their disability.
Do I need council approval for disability modifications?
It depends on the type of work. Minor modifications, such as grab rail installation or threshold adjustments, usually do not require council approval. However, structural changes, such as altering walls, widening doorways, or installing ramps beyond a certain height or size, may require approval or certification. In many cases, the builder can assist with navigating compliance and help ensure the work meets building codes and accessibility standards.
