The NDIS uses several guidelines to determine whether home modifications will be funded. These include:
The modification must support the participant’s independence and enable them to carry out activities of daily living.
The modification must be cost-effective and the most appropriate solution for the participant’s needs.
The modification must align with the participant’s NDIS plan and support their goals and aspirations.
In order to determine if a home modification is eligible for NDIS funding, an NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator must assess the participant’s needs and make recommendations for appropriate modifications. The participant’s NDIS plan must include funding for home modifications, and the modification must be approved by the NDIS prior to any work being carried out.
It’s important to note that the NDIS may only provide funding for necessary modifications, and participants may need to contribute to the cost of the modification. NDIS home modifications are a crucial part of the NDIS support services and can help participants to live safely and independently in their own homes.
