Top Home Modifications & Accessibility Providers in Canberra

Home modifications make a home safer and more accessible by changing the physical environment to suit a participant's needs, from minor changes like grab rails, ramps, and lever taps to complex work such as bathroom and kitchen modifications and widened doorways. The right modifications can transform independence and safety, letting people move around and use facilities in their own home.

An occupational therapist assesses your needs and how you use your home, working with building professionals on anything beyond simple changes. Modifications are classified as minor or complex, which shapes the assessment and approval process, and the NDIS funds work that is reasonable, necessary, and value for money, considering factors like landlord consent for rentals. When choosing providers, you will typically work with an OT for assessment and design and a qualified builder experienced in accessible modifications, so look for relevant experience, proper qualifications and insurance, and strong coordination between them.
