About Home Modifications
Make Everyday Living More Accessible at Home
A home should support the way a person lives. When steps, narrow doorways, bathroom layouts or difficult access points create barriers, suitable modifications may help make daily routines more manageable.
NDIS home modifications can involve changes to a property's structure, fixtures or fittings. Depending on individual circumstances, work may range from specific access improvements to more extensive renovations.
- ✓ Improve access around important areas of the home
- ✓ Consider safer bathroom and shower arrangements
- ✓ Explore ramps, rails and step-free access
- ✓ Review doorway and internal movement requirements
- ✓ Plan practical kitchen and laundry improvements

Our Project Process
A Clear Process From Enquiry to Handover
We aim to keep each stage organised, with practical communication and a clear understanding of the proposed work.
01
Referral & Information Review
We review the initial enquiry and available OT reports, photos, recommendations, plans and relevant project details.
02
Participant Contact
We discuss the property and requirements, arrange a site visit where needed, or request additional photos and measurements.
03
Quote & Scope of Works
We prepare a proposed construction scope and quotation based on the available information and any required site assessment.
04
Documentation Support
Where relevant, we can provide product information, scope details and supporting construction notes for the project documentation.
05
Installation
Once the scope, funding arrangements and necessary approvals are confirmed, the agreed work can be scheduled and undertaken.
06
Final Handover
At completion, relevant handover information can be provided, such as project photos, applicable certificates and warranty details.
Quotation timing: Where sufficient project information is available, HC Renovations aims to provide a quote and scope within approximately 24–48 hours. More complex work, additional documentation or a required site visit may affect this timeframe.
OT & Support Coordinator Collaboration
Building Work Informed by Individual Recommendations
Occupational Therapists play an important role in assessing functional needs and recommending suitable home modifications. HC Renovations focuses on the construction side of the project, including reviewing the proposed scope and discussing practical installation requirements.

Understanding the NDIS Process
Planning Your Home Modification Project
NDIS home modification funding depends on the participant's individual circumstances, disability-related needs, the proposed work and the applicable NDIS rules. Not every home renovation or improvement is eligible for NDIS funding.
Before construction begins, the appropriate assessment, funding arrangements, property-owner consent and any required building or council approvals should be confirmed.
- ✓ Clarify the access or functional issue being addressed
- ✓ Obtain relevant professional assessment and recommendations
- ✓ Confirm the proposed scope and funding pathway
- ✓ Check property permissions and applicable approvals
- ✓ Confirm arrangements before work is scheduled

Frequently Asked Questions
NDIS Home Modifications FAQs
Answers to common questions about accessible home improvements and the project process.
Home modifications are changes to a property's structure, fixtures or fittings that may help a person manage disability-related access or functional needs at home. Examples can include bathroom changes, ramps, rails, doorway widening and other accessibility improvements. Funding eligibility is assessed under the relevant NDIS rules.
Depending on individual requirements and the property, possible work may include bathroom modifications, access ramps, handrails and grabrails, widened doorways, step-free access, kitchen and laundry changes, and other suitable access improvements.
An OT assessment and recommendations are commonly important when identifying disability-related functional needs and proposing home modifications. The specific evidence required depends on the type and complexity of the work and the applicable NDIS process.
No. General renovations, maintenance and improvements are not automatically NDIS-funded. A proposed modification must meet the applicable NDIS funding criteria and relate to the participant's disability-related needs. The NDIA or relevant decision-maker determines eligibility and funding approval.
Project information and OT recommendations can be reviewed as part of the construction planning and quotation process. The OT remains responsible for clinical and functional recommendations, while building work is considered separately.
Where sufficient information is available, the target is approximately 24–48 hours for a quote and scope. Complex projects, site inspections, additional measurements or specialist requirements may take longer.
If the participant does not own the property, written permission from the legal owner may be required before modifications can proceed. Other approvals may also apply depending on the property, location and nature of the work.
HC Renovations focuses on Sydney and surrounding regions of New South Wales. Contact the team with your suburb and project details to discuss availability.
Include your suburb, the areas of the home requiring changes, a brief description of the access challenges, photos or measurements if available, and any relevant OT recommendations or plans. This helps the team understand the project before discussing the next step.
