Frequently asked questions

Do I need an OT assessment for home modifications?
Yes, for most modifications beyond very minor items. An OT assesses your functional needs and recommends specific modifications, which forms the basis of the NDIS funding request.
Can I get home modifications if I rent?
Yes. The NDIS can fund modifications to rental properties with landlord permission. Portable modifications (removable ramps, grab rails) are often easier to approve for rental properties.
How much do NDIS home modifications cost?
Costs vary enormously. Minor modifications (grab rails, hand rails) might be $500-2000. Major modifications (bathroom renovation, ramp) can be $10,000-50,000+. The NDIS funds what is reasonable and necessary.
How long do home modifications take?
From OT assessment to completion: simple modifications (rails, ramps) take 4-8 weeks. Complex modifications (bathroom renovations, lifts) can take 3-6 months including assessment, quoting, NDIA approval, and construction.
