Your first step in exploring home modifications is to get in contact with us and request a visit from one of our occupational therapists to chat with you and get started on the assessment process.
Home Modifications
Want to feel more independent and secure in your own home?
From rails to ramps, a complete bathroom renovation to advice for a new home build, our therapists assist you with tailored home modification solutions.
How could home modifications assist you?
Indigo's home modification assessment services can support you arranging modifications to feel independent, confident and safe within your home. You may like to have better access to your bathroom, backyard or in the kitchen, or need disability-friendly furniture that better fits your needs.
Once we have completed our assessment, our therapists can support you through the process of your modification projects. We’ve helped thousands of Australians who live with physical and neurological disabilities modify their homes from installing simple railing to full structural changes.
Our Nedlands-based team offers a range of home modification supports and services for you, including:
Consultation and assessment
- Information and advice about home modification options
- Providing recommendations
- Determining eligibility for assistance and funding, and submitting the relevant NDIS reports
- Developing detailed plans for modifications
- Referral to home modification providers, including contractors, builders, and suppliers
Ongoing support
- Ongoing support throughout the process, and after the completion of the project, to ensure that the modification is still meeting your needs
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started with the home modification assessment service?
What type of home modifications do you provide?
Indigo does not perform the actual home modifications work, rather we assist you in identifying your needs, gathering the information required for reports to NDIS to secure funding, assistance with designs and drawings and liaison with builders approved to perform modifications works under NDIS funded arrangements.
How much does a home modification cost?
The cost of home modifications can vary. Our therapists can advise you on different options to best suit your needs and your finances and funding.
How can I pay for the home modification service?
Home modifications may be included in your NDIS plan according to your individual circumstances. Our therapists can assist you in determining your eligibility for funding or other assistance and help you in developing required reports for submission to NDIS.
Who will be doing the home modification assessment?
Indigo occupational therapists will come to your property to complete the assessment.
Should I be present for my home modification assessment?
You should be present for the assessment to discuss with Indigo’s occupational therapists what your aims are and how your lifestyle and activities impact these aims.
How long will the home modification assessment process take?
The initial visit from our therapists to discuss your needs and gather information for the assessment will take a few hours. The process of seeking funding, final approval and the consequent modification works can take months, depending on complexity of the works and time taken for funding approval.
Is the home modification service available across WA or just within Perth?
This is a Perth-based service as our therapists will need to visit your home to discuss your needs and perform the assessment.
