"Standard" vs. "Stunning": Navigating NDIS Funding for a Premium Build
We get asked this a lot: "Will the NDIS pay for a premium bathroom?"
The short answer is: The NDIS funds "reasonable and necessary" modifications to meet your functional goals. This usually covers the "standard" version of a modification. However, many of our clients at PBR want more than just "standard."
How it works:
The Clinical Foundation: Your Occupational Therapist (OT) identifies the functional need (e.g., a level-entry shower).
The NDIS Contribution: The NDIS provides funding for a compliant, functional solution.
The "Gap" Investment: You can choose to "top up" the funding. If the NDIS covers a standard white vanity, but you’ve lost your heart to a custom timber-look floating unit with stone tops, you simply pay the difference.
Why work with an NDIS-specialist builder?
We speak the language of OT reports.
We ensure every "premium" choice still meets Australian Standards (AS 1428.1).
We handle the complex paperwork so you can focus on picking your tiles.
