Minor home modifications
Smaller, non-structural changes such as grab rails, handrails, small ramps and hand-held showers. Our in-house team handles everything: assessment, quote, supply, installation and handover.
Major and complex home modifications
Larger or structural works such as bathroom and kitchen redesigns, structural ramps, doorway widening and ceiling hoists. We project manage the work with a network of licensed builders and specialist contractors, and our qualified Building Works Project Managers can coordinate complex projects.
Professional in-home OT assessment
Every home modification starts with understanding how you live. Our occupational therapists visit your home, look at how you use each space and identify what’s getting in the way.
We develop the scope of works and provide the reports and recommendations your funder needs, and we think about your future needs too, so your modifications keep working for you as things change.

Frequently asked questions
How much do home modifications cost?
It depends on the work. Grab rails and small ramps are relatively low cost, while bathroom or kitchen redesigns cost more. We provide a written quote before anything starts.
Do I need an OT assessment?
Most funders, including the NDIS, need an occupational therapist’s assessment and recommendations for home modifications. Our own OTs can do this for you.
How long do home modifications take?
Minor modifications can often be completed soon after approval. Major works depend on design, funding approval, permits and builder availability. We’ll give you a timeline with your quote.
Can you modify a rental property?
Often, yes, with the owner’s written permission. We can also suggest removable options.
Are you an NDIS registered provider?
Yes. NovitaTech is an NDIS registered provider and works with self-managed, plan-managed and NDIA-managed participants.
