Ndis Registered Builders - Making Homes Accessible

In the realm of accessibility and inclusivity, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plays a pivotal role in empowering individuals with disabilities to lead independent lives. Central to this scheme are NDIS registered builders who specialize in home modifications tailored to the unique needs of people with disabilities.

In this blog post, we'll delve into what the NDIS entails, how its funding works, the significance of NDIS registered builders, typical home modifications under the scheme, and how HRE Built is making a difference in this field.

What is the NDIS?

The NDIS is a national program that provides individualized support for eligible people with permanent and significant disabilities in Australia. The scheme aims to provide people with disabilities the support they need to pursue their goals and participate in daily life.

How NDIS Funding Works 

People with disabilities who meet access requirements can apply to become NDIS participants. If accepted, they work with NDIS planners to develop individualized plans detailing their goals, needs and funding allocation. Funding is flexible and can be used to pay for various disability-related supports, including home and vehicle modifications.

NDIS Registered Builders

The NDIS has a registration system for providers who deliver home modifications like builders, tradespeople and occupational therapists. To become registered, providers must meet requirements around qualifications, insurances, and building standards. Registered providers have demonstrated they can deliver safe, quality services that comply with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.

Typical NDIS Home Modifications

There are many types of home modifications that the NDIS funds to improve accessibility, safety and independence within the home. Some common home modifications delivered by Ndis registered builders include:

- Ramps and lift Installations - To improve wheelchair access

- Bathroom Modifications - Installation of grab rails, lever faucets, raised toilets and walk-in showers

- Kitchen Modifications - Adjustment of benchtop heights, installations of pull-out shelves

- Door Widening - For wheelchair access around the home 

- Non-Slip Flooring - Reduces risk of falls

- Installation of Hoists/Ceiling Tracks - For transfers and mobility

- Sensory Equipment - Safety aids for those with hearing/visual impairments 

- Home Automation - Automated doors, lighting and environmental controls
