At NDIS Superhero, we know that having a safe, accessible, and comfortable home is essential for independence and quality of life. The NDIS can provide funding to help you modify your home so it better suits your needs.
Home Modifications Through Your NDIS Plan
If your home isn’t suited to your disability needs, you can request funding for home modifications as part of your NDIS plan. These modifications could include:
- Installing ramps, rails, or accessible bathrooms
- Widening doorways
- Adjusting kitchen or laundry areas
- Other structural changes to improve daily living
If you’re renting or living in managed housing, you can also request these modifications from your landlord or housing provider.
If modifications are already in place but have broken or worn out, you have the right to ask the property owner or agent to repair them.
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA)
For people with high support needs, the NDIS also offers funding under Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). This can help you find or build a home that’s fully designed for your specific disability requirements.
Plan for Modifications Early
If you’re preparing a new NDIS plan or updating an existing one, think about what changes could make your home safer, more accessible, and more supportive of your goals.
And if you’re not sure what funding you can request, NDIS Superhero is here to help. We’ll guide you on how to include home modifications or SDA funding in your plan, and manage your budget so you can make the changes you need.
