Creating safe, accessible environments is vital for NDIS participants and service providers. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers funding to help people with disabilities modify their homes or facilities, including anti-slip solutions that reduce the risk of falls. GripFactory is here to assist you in implementing these modifications with expert support at every step.
Understanding NDIS requirements for modifications
To receive NDIS funding, modifications must be deemed reasonable and necessary to help individuals achieve their goals. This applies to both homes and public facilities. NDIS funds changes that enhance safety and accessibility. If you’re concerned about slippery floors, slippery tiles, or other hazards, anti-slip treatments are essential.
Common areas needing anti-slip solutions include bathrooms, kitchens, ramps, and high-traffic spaces like hallways. Installing non-slip tile coatings, anti-slip liquids, PolyGrip plates and stair nosings can significantly reduce falls and improve mobility, making homes or facilities safer for everyone.
Claimable anti-slip solutions for NDIS participants and facilities
The NDIS funds various home and facility modifications under its Capital Supports category, which can include anti-slip solutions. Here are some claimable options:
- Non-slip tile coatings: Perfect for wet areas like bathrooms or kitchens where slippery tiles are a risk.
- Anti-slip liquids: These provide long-term protection for slippery floors, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.
- PolyGrip plates: Ideal for ramps and sloped surfaces where mobility aids are used.
- Stair nosings: Improves safety on stairs by enhancing grip for participants or visitors.
- Decking strips: Common in outdoor spaces like wooden patios, they provide extra traction on wet surfaces.
How to apply for NDIS funding for modifications
To claim anti-slip modifications, you’ll need to work with your NDIS planner and an occupational therapist (OT) to assess the space. A thorough home modification assessment or facility audit will determine which solutions are necessary for safety and mobility.
The NDIS may provide funding for both modifications and ongoing maintenance. For minor modifications like non-slip tile coatings or stair nosings, a formal quote isn’t always required if the cost is under $1,500. For more complex modifications, a formal assessment and multiple quotes may be needed.
