Your home should be a place of safety and comfort, not a source of barriers. If you find it difficult to move around your home or use your kitchen or bathroom, an NDIS Home Modification can transform your living space and give you back your independence.
At Humanity Care, we are not the builders. We are your expert project managers.
We manage the entire process for you—from working with your Occupational Therapist (OT) and gathering quotes from trusted Adelaide builders, to overseeing the project until it’s perfectly completed. We handle the stress so you can focus on the result: a safer, more accessible home.
Home modifications range from small, simple changes to large, complex structural projects. Our goal is to find the most cost-effective solution to meet your NDIS goals.
| Type of Modification | Examples of What We Manage |
|---|---|
| Minor Modifications | Installation of grab rails and handrails in bathrooms or hallways. |
| (Simple, low-cost) | Replacing standard taps with easy-to-use lever taps or sensor taps. Installing non-slip flooring or small threshold ramps. |
| Complex Modifications | Structural changes to create a fully accessible bathroom (e.g., a "wet room"). |
| (Major, high-cost) | Widening of internal or external doorways to allow for wheelchair access. Installation of permanent, structural ramps for home access. Kitchen modifications, such as lowering benchtops and creating accessible sinks. |
The process for getting NDIS home modifications can be complicated. Our expert Adelaide team simplifies it for you.
The process always starts with an assessment from a qualified Occupational Therapist (OT). They will assess your home and your needs, then write a detailed report recommending the specific modifications you need.
We don't do the building, but we know the best people who do. We have a network of trusted, licensed, and insured builders in Adelaide who specialise in disability modifications. We'll get competitive quotes for you.
Once the NDIS approves the funding, our job is to manage the entire build. We coordinate the tradespeople, ensure the work is done to the highest standard, and make sure it matches the OT's recommendations perfectly. We handle all the communication so you don't have to.
If you answered yes, we can help.
Home Modifications are funded from your Capital Supports budget.
This is a separate, restricted budget in your NDIS plan that is only for equipment and modifications. It does not take away from your “Core” (daily support) or “Capacity Building” (therapy/skills) budgets.
The NDIS needs to see clear evidence (especially the OT report) that the modification is “reasonable and necessary” to help you meet your goals. Our team is an expert at helping you provide this evidence.
You can still get home modifications in a rental property! However, the NDIS will require written permission from your landlord/property owner before they will approve the funding. We can help you provide the landlord with all the necessary information, plans, and builder’s insurance details to make this process smoother.
Yes, home modifications can also be funded by an Aged Care Home Care Package. This is typically for “minor” modifications like grab rails, hand-held showers, and small ramps. We can manage these projects for our Aged Care clients as well.
We are always honest: this process can take time. For complex modifications, it requires an OT assessment, builder’s quotes, and NDIS approval before any work can begin. This can take several months. Minor modifications (like grab rails) are much faster.
You do. We act as your project manager. We will provide you with options and quotes from qualified builders, but you make the final decision. You also sign off on all designs, tile colours, and fittings to ensure the final result is exactly what you want.
