Kitchen & Laundry Modifications for Everyday Independence

They are changes to fixtures, fittings, layouts or building elements that may improve access, usability and safety in household spaces. Examples can include accessible benchtops, storage adjustments, appliance positioning, sink and tapware changes, and improved circulation areas.

Depending on the property and the individual's requirements, modifications may include changes to work surfaces, cabinetry, appliance locations, clearances and access routes. The appropriate design should be informed by individual needs, measurements and relevant professional recommendations.

Many existing laundry spaces can be reviewed for possible improvements. The options depend on the room size, plumbing and electrical locations, existing fixtures, structural conditions and the modifications required.

If the project relates to disability support or an NDIS home modification request, an OT assessment and recommendations may be required as part of the relevant process. The exact documentation depends on the proposed work and funding pathway. An OT provides functional recommendations; building work is planned separately.

Some home modifications may be considered under the NDIS where they meet the applicable funding criteria and have the required supporting evidence. Funding is not automatic. The NDIA or relevant funding decision-maker determines eligibility and approval.

Helpful information includes your location, photos of the existing kitchen or laundry, approximate measurements, a description of the required changes and any relevant OT recommendations or plans. A site visit may be needed before a final scope and quotation can be prepared.
