Who can access NDIS home modifications?
The types of modifications available depend on the NDIS plan and what’s needed to help live safely and comfortably at home. This can include the structure, layout, or fittings in a home. NDIS home modifications may be included in an NDIS plan if:
- The disability means that you or your carers can’t reasonably access and use rooms and spaces in your primary residence;
- The home, in its current condition, has significant adverse impacts on your ability to continue living in the home and accessing current care arrangements, and;
- A qualified Occupational Therapist has conducted an assessment of the home and recommended that NDIS home modifications be carried out (considering all possible alternatives, including the use of assistive technologies and other equipment).
Is the home modification legal and safe?
The NDIS will only fund home modifications that are legal and safe for you to use. As experienced and trusted builders in the Mackay region, Coastal Living Homes comply with the relevant standards and Australian laws ensuring any modifications are completed to the highest quality and that will not cause harm to you or others.
What home modifications aren't covered under NDIS funding?
There are certain exceptions to what can be funded under the NDIS home modifications in your plan. These exclusions may include:
- Any modifications that are likely to cause harm to you or others
- Modifications that are not related to the disability
- Supports that are already covered by other supporting funding programs
- Modifications that relate to day-to-day living costs
