NDIS Home Assessments
Are you or your loved one an NDIS participant wondering how to make your home safer, more accessible, and tailored to your daily needs? At OpenHearted Support, we understand that your home should be your sanctuary—a space where comfort, independence, and dignity are prioritised. That’s why we offer comprehensive NDIS Home Assessments conducted by experienced professionals to ensure your living environment is perfectly suited to your goals and support needs.

What is an NDIS Home Assessment?

An NDIS Home Assessment is an evaluation of your current living conditions by qualified professionals such as occupational therapists or physiotherapists. The aim is to identify modifications or supports needed to help you live more safely and independently at home.

These assessments are crucial for:

  • Enhancing mobility within the home
  • Improving accessibility
  • Preventing injuries and falls
  • Supporting your daily living activities

    • Who Conducts the Assessment?

    At OpenHearted Support, our NDIS home assessments are carried out by qualified Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists with experience in the disability sector. Our team is trained to understand both the clinical and practical aspects of support required in your home.

    We ensure:

  • A person-centred approach
  • Respect for your choices and lifestyle
  • Clear communication with you, your carers, and your support coordinator

    • What Does the Assessment Include?

    A typical NDIS Home Assessment may involve:

    ✅ Environmental Access Review

    We assess doorways, hallways, bathrooms, kitchen layout, lighting, and general flow to ensure ease of movement and accessibility.

    ✅ Functional Needs Evaluation

    Understanding your daily routine is crucial—this includes evaluating tasks such as bathing, cooking, and using the toilet or stairs.

    ✅ Equipment and Modifications Recommendation

    Our professionals may recommend:

  • Grab rails
  • Ramps or stairlifts
  • Shower chairs or bath modifications
  • Kitchen bench adjustments
  • Hoists or mobility equipment

    • ✅ Safety Checks

    We identify fall risks, trip hazards, and potential dangers, especially for participants with physical or neurological conditions.

    ✅ Report for NDIS Funding

    A comprehensive, evidence-based report is prepared to support your NDIS application for home modifications or assistive technology funding.
