What types of home modifications do you provide?

We support both minor and complex home modifications. This includes grab rails, ramps, handheld showers, bathroom renovations, doorway widening, kitchen adjustments and accessibility solutions such as lifts and hoists. Recommendations are based on your goals, mobility needs and home environment.

How do you assess what modifications I need?

Our occupational therapists complete a detailed home assessment to understand your daily routines, mobility, safety concerns and long-term needs. We then explore suitable modification options and provide clear recommendations tailored to your home and funding requirements.

Do you support NDIS funding applications for home modifications?

Yes. We prepare NDIS-ready Assistive Technology and Home Modification reports, including assessments, risk considerations, design recommendations and quotes. We work closely with builders, suppliers and support coordinators to ensure your application meets NDIS requirements.

What is the difference between minor and complex home modifications?

Minor modifications are smaller changes such as grab rails, threshold ramps or handheld showers. Complex modifications involve structural changes like bathroom renovations, ramps, lifts or kitchen redesigns.

Do you work with builders and suppliers?

Yes. We collaborate with qualified builders, designers and suppliers to ensure your modifications are safe, compliant and functional. We can help coordinate quotes, review designs and support communication between all parties involved.

Home Modifications Service

Our occupational therapists work with you to understand your goals, routines and the way you move through your home. We assess your environment, identify risks, and recommend modifications that improve safety, accessibility and independence.

Whether you’re an NDIS participant, an older adult, or supporting someone you care for, our goal is to help you create a home that supports the way you live.

What are Home Modifications?

Home modifications are custom changes made to your living environment to improve accessibility, safety and functionality. These adaptations support people with disability, mobility challenges, or those wanting to maintain independence as they age.

Unlike temporary assistive devices, home modifications are permanent or semi‑permanent solutions designed to meet your long‑term needs.

Your home modification options may vary depending on your funding scheme, including NDIS or CHSP.

We support NDIS participants with both Minor and Complex Home Modifications. Our occupational therapists complete functional assessments, collaborate with builders, and prepare NDIS‑ready reports to support your funding application.

If you’re an older adult, explore our Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) services.
