Funding Options for Home Modifications

Home Care Packages (HCP)

If you have an approved Home Care Package, funding can cover essential home modifications to help you live safely and independently. Your Care Coordinator can assist in arranging assessments and managing the process.

Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)

For eligible older Australians, CHSP may provide short-term or low-level funding for basic modifications like grab rails or ramps. An assessment is required through My Aged Care.

Private Pay Options

If you're not eligible for government funding or prefer more immediate service, you can choose to fund your home modifications directly. We'll provide a clear quote and flexible options to suit your needs.

How It Works

Home Visit & OT Assessment

A qualified occupational therapist (OT) visits your home to assess your needs and recommend suitable modifications for safety and accessibility.

Scope of Work & Quotation

Based on the OT's recommendations, we prepare a clear plan and cost estimate outlining the proposed modifications.

Funding Submission (if applicable)

If you're using government funding (e.g., HCP or CHSP), we’ll assist with submitting the necessary paperwork for approval.

Professional Installation by Trusted Contractors

Once approved, our experienced contractors carry out the modifications with care and professionalism.

Follow-up & Support

After installation, we check in to ensure everything meets your needs and provide ongoing support if required.

Can I customise modifications to suit my needs?

Benefits of Home Modifications

Home modifications play a vital role in enhancing the safety, comfort, and independence of older Australians and people with mobility challenges. By adapting your living space, you can reduce the risk of falls and injuries, making everyday activities easier and safer. Modifications such as installing grab rails, ramps, or walk-in showers help create a supportive environment tailored to your needs.

With the right home modifications, you can enjoy greater freedom to move around your home confidently, maintain your independence longer, and improve your overall quality of life. These changes also provide peace of mind for family members and carers, knowing your home is equipped to support your health and wellbeing.

Home modifications are ideal for older Australians, people with mobility challenges, and those recovering from injury or illness. If you find everyday tasks like moving safely around your home difficult, simple changes can make a big difference.

Benefits extend to:
