Doing home modifications right

As a provider of home modifications in the Sutherland Shire, our work can improve your wellbeing and reduce or remove the need to arrange home care. However, for it to be effective it must be done right.

According to the Home Modification Clearing House there are a number of factors that could impact whether your home modifications will help, or cause harm. These include:

Experience of the tradespeople you use in both assessing your needs and carrying out the work
Complex and conflicting guidelines in the home modifications areas

As specialists in home, bathroom, and shower modifications in the Sutherland Shire with over 30 years’ experience in the industry, you can be assured the work our tradespeople carry out will be of the highest standard, and meet all relevant guidelines.

Occupational Therapists: We recommend all modification requests are assessed by an Occupational Therapist to ensure our client’s safety and compliance with Australian Standards. An OT referral and report is essential for any subsidised work.

If you require assistance to connect with an OT, please contact us.
