Belong Health

Occupational Therapy NDIS HOME MODIFICATIONS

Our Occupational Therapists (OTs) specialise in facilitating minor and complex NDIS Home Modifications, ensuring individuals' homes are safe, accessible, and conducive to their independence. Here’s an overview of Home Modifications and how Belong Health’s specialised OTs can assist you:

What are Home Modifications?
Home Modifications entail alterations to a person’s residence to enhance access, safety, security, and independence. These modifications are vital in ensuring individuals can comfortably stay in their familiar environment rather than having to relocate due to accessibility challenges.
You may require home modifications if you experience:

Safety concerns moving around your home
Challenges utilising specific areas within your home
Difficulty with personal care tasks such as bathing or toileting
Need for safe support from caregivers

How Belong Health Therapy Services Can Help:

Comprehensive Assessments: Our experienced OTs conduct thorough assessments to understand your specific home modification needs, considering mobility, safety concerns, and daily living requirements.

Tailored Solutions: Based on their assessment findings, our OTs collaborate with you to develop personalised plans addressing your unique home modification goals, preferences, and budget.

Integration with NDIS Plans: We align home modification recommendations with your NDIS plan, ensuring seamless integration for approval and funding.

Liaisons with Project Management: Our team provides expert guidance throughout the modification process, from concept to completion, liaising with NDIS registered project managers and builders if the modification is deemed to be complex.

Ongoing Support: We offer continuous support, monitoring your evolving needs and making necessary adjustments to maintain a safe and suitable home environment.

Types of Home Modifications
The NDIS categorises modifications as minor or complex based on complexity levels and cost considerations. Minor modifications are non-structural, limited to one or two areas, low-risk, and cost less than $20,000. Complex modifications are more extensive, involving structural changes and higher costs.

How Belong Health OTs Assist with NDIS Home Modifications
Our OTs are specialised complex home modification assessors, assisting with assessments, administration, liaising with builders and the NDIS, and ensuring project completion aligns with your needs and NDIS criteria.

FAQs about NDIS Home Modifications

Funding Guidelines:
NDIS funding for home modifications considers independence, cost-effectiveness, alignment with NDIS plans, and necessity for daily activities.

OT Assessments:
OTs conduct home assessments to determine necessary modifications for independence, safety, and well-being.

Home Visits:
Yes, an OT will visit your home for assessments, observing and recommending modifications tailored to your needs.
