Will the NDIS fund house modifications?

Yes, the NDIS can fund changes to your home where they're reasonable and necessary for your disability.

Home modifications funding can cover things like:

  • Ramps, rails and accessible bathrooms
  • Slip-resistant flooring
  • The professional side too - assessments, building certification and project management for the modification

Bigger modifications usually need an assessment (often from an occupational therapist) and quotes before the NDIA approves funding, so build in some lead time.

For people with very high support needs who can't live in mainstream housing, Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) is a separate support.
