Frequently Asked Questions
What are some common modifications in disability home renovations?
Disability home renovations often involve structural and functional adjustments to improve accessibility and mobility within a home. Common modifications include widening doorways to accommodate wheelchairs, installing ramps for step-free entry, and adjusting floor surfaces to reduce tripping hazards. Bathrooms may be modified with walk-in showers, grab rails, and accessible sinks. Kitchens can be altered with lower countertops, pull-out shelves, and strategically placed appliances. In some cases, smart home technology, such as automated doors or voice-activated lighting, may be included. The scope of modifications depends on individual needs and the layout of the home.
How can a home be made more accessible for someone with limited mobility?
Improving home accessibility for individuals with limited mobility involves assessing obstacles that may hinder movement and daily activities. Entryways can be modified with ramps or platform lifts, while doorways and hallways may need to be widened. Flooring choices should minimise the risk of slips or falls, often requiring a transition to non-slip materials. In living areas, furniture placement may need adjustment to create clear pathways. Kitchens and bathrooms can be redesigned for ease of use, incorporating accessible fixtures and adaptive technology. Adequate lighting and assistive controls can also enhance safety and usability in different areas of the home.
What is the difference between minor and complex home modifications under the NDIS?
The NDIS classifies home modifications as either minor or complex. Minor modifications typically involve non-structural changes that cost less than $20,000 and may not require significant planning approvals. These can include installing grab rails, widening doorways, or modifying bathroom fixtures. Complex home modifications involve higher-cost, structural changes that may impact multiple areas of the home, such as major bathroom overhauls, ramp installations, or significant kitchen modifications. Complex modifications usually require assessments and compliance with building regulations.
