NDIS Home Modifications
Practical changes to help your home work for you.
LifeTec’s occupational therapists provide home modification assessments for NDIS participants in Brisbane. We learn about your goals and daily routines, assess your home and recommend changes that may improve safety, access and independence. Where needed, we prepare a report to support your funding application.
What are Home Modifications?
Home modifications are changes to a home that make everyday activities safer or easier to manage. They might improve access to an entrance, bathroom or kitchen, or help someone move around their home.
The right changes depend on the person, the activities they want to do and the layout of their home. An occupational therapy assessment helps identify options that fit those needs.
