Connecting Professional Recommendations With Practical Building Solutions

Home modifications are often an important part of supporting a person's ability to move around and use their home more comfortably.

Occupational Therapists help identify individual accessibility requirements and recommend appropriate modifications. Builders then consider the construction methods, property conditions, materials and installation requirements needed to carry out the proposed works.

HC Renovations aims to make this process clearer through practical project discussions, scope information and communication with relevant stakeholders.

Our role is to provide building and renovation information. Clinical assessments, functional recommendations and NDIS funding decisions remain with the relevant professionals and authorities.

Understanding The Process

A Clearer Approach to NDIS Home Modification Planning

Home modification projects may involve several stakeholders, supporting documents and approval requirements. Understanding the general stages helps everyone prepare.

01

Identify Requirements

Understand the participant's accessibility needs and relevant OT recommendations.

02

Review Documentation

Gather applicable reports, photographs, measurements and property information.

03

Prepare Project Scope

Consider construction feasibility, proposed works, pricing and relevant supporting information.

04

Approval & Coordination

Follow the applicable NDIS funding and approval process before authorised work proceeds.

Important: This is a general project-planning overview, not an official NDIS approval pathway. Requirements vary according to the participant, modification type and applicable NDIS rules.

  • Detailed description of proposed modifications
  • Products, materials and installation details
  • Relevant building and compliance considerations
  • Project exclusions and assumptions

Answers to common questions about home modification referrals, project scope and working with HC Renovations.

Occupational Therapists can use the professional referral form on this page to provide initial project details, the participant's suburb, proposed modifications and relevant construction requirements. Additional documentation can be arranged through an appropriate secure communication method.

Useful initial information includes the project location, type of modification, property details, a brief description of the requirements and any relevant OT recommendations. Photographs and measurements may also help with preliminary discussions.

Relevant OT recommendations can be reviewed for construction planning and quotation purposes. Any clinical interpretation or assessment of participant needs remains the responsibility of the relevant qualified professional.

HC Renovations can discuss and prepare a proposed construction scope and quotation based on available project information and assessment of the property. The scope should clearly identify the proposed building work and relevant assumptions.

No. Submitting a referral or receiving a building quotation does not constitute NDIS funding approval. Funding decisions are made under applicable NDIS requirements and the participant's individual funding arrangements.

Yes. Support Coordinators can contact HC Renovations to discuss project requirements, available information, quotation requests and construction coordination.

HC Renovations focuses on Sydney and surrounding regions of New South Wales. Please contact the team to confirm whether a particular suburb is covered.

The client has indicated a target of delivering quotations and scopes within 24–48 hours where sufficient project information is available. More complex projects or those requiring site inspections may take longer.
