FAQs

Home Modifications and Safety Assessments: your questions answered

Common questions about home modification and safety assessments from NDIS participants, families and support coordinators across Liverpool and Western Sydney.

What is a home modification assessment?

A home modification assessment is an occupational therapy assessment of your home that identifies changes to make it safer and easier to move around. Your therapist looks at how you manage at home and recommends modifications such as grab rails, ramps or bathroom changes in a written report.

What is the difference between minor and complex home modifications?

Minor modifications are smaller changes such as grab rails, handheld showers or simple ramps. Complex modifications involve structural work, such as bathroom rebuilds or widening doorways, and usually need more detailed assessment, drawings and quotes.

Who needs a home modification assessment?

You may benefit from an assessment if moving around your home, bathing or accessing entries has become difficult or unsafe. NDIS participants often need an occupational therapy assessment to provide evidence for home modification requests.

What happens during the assessment?

Your occupational therapist visits your home, looks at how you manage everyday tasks in that environment, and identifies areas of risk. They then recommend suitable modifications and explain the reasons for them in a report.

Will the NDIS fund my home modifications?

Home modifications may be funded under your NDIS plan, depending on your plan, your needs and the type of work. Complex modifications generally require an occupational therapy assessment along with quotes, so it is best to check with your support coordinator or planner before any work begins.

Who completes the assessment?

Your assessment is completed by a registered occupational therapist who is qualified to assess home safety and recommend modifications. For complex work, the therapist may also work alongside builders or other professionals. Occupational therapists are registered with the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia through AHPRA.

How long does it take, and when will I get the report?

A home modification assessment usually involves a home visit followed by a written report with recommendations. Timeframes vary, particularly for complex modifications that need drawings and quotes, so we confirm what to expect when you book.

How do I arrange a home modification assessment?

You can arrange a home modification assessment by contacting Youcentric Care Group directly, or by asking your support coordinator, GP or allied health professional to send a referral. Call 1300 316 664 or email [email protected] and our team will guide you through the next steps.
