Home Modifications

At Phoenix Therapy Services our skilled Occupational Therapists (OTs) provide thorough assessments for both Minor and Complex Home Modifications. With extensive experience in complex home modifications, we meet the NDIS qualifications for these assessments and have been involved in this space long before the NDIS was established. Our team has been working within the NDIS system since its inception, ensuring that our clients receive expert guidance and support to navigate the process. 

Our process begins with a detailed assessment of your functional needs and home environment. We provide recommendations guided by NDIS standards, ensuring that your home is adapted to meet your individual requirements within the funding model.
