Home Modifications
for NDIS Participants
Positive Step provides mobile occupational therapy services across Perth to support adults who require complex home modifications to improve safety, accessibility and independence in their living environment. We work alongside you, your support network and your builders to ensure modifications are practical, appropriate and aligned with your needs.
For many people living with physical disabilities or neurological conditions, standard home environments can create barriers to everyday activities. Home modifications aim to remove these barriers by adapting your home to better support how you move, function and live day to day.
What are home modifications?
Home modifications are changes made to your home to improve safety, accessibility, and independence. Funded through the NDIS, these modifications support people with disability to move around their home more easily, complete daily tasks, and reduce reliance on others.
Modifications can range from simple changes (minor home modifications) to more complex structural works (complex home modifications) depending on your needs and goals. Home modifications are tailored to your individual circumstances and may include:
- Installing grab rails and handrails
- Bathroom modifications
- Ramps and step modifications
- Widening doorways for wheelchair access
- Structural changes to improve access and safety
All recommendations must be considered reasonable and necessary under the NDIS and aligned with your functional needs.
What home modifications can support with
Home modifications can improve access, safety and independence across a range of daily activities. Depending on your needs, this may include:
- Safer access to and within the home
