For people living with disability, the home environment plays a critical role in everyday independence, safety, and quality of life. Simple tasks many take for granted — showering, preparing meals, moving between rooms — can become challenging or unsafe without the right supports in place.
Through the National Disability Insurance Scheme, eligible participants can access funding for home modifications that remove physical barriers and support long-term independence. When delivered correctly, these modifications don’t just meet compliance requirements — they genuinely improve how a home functions for the person living in it.
At Qline Industries, we deliver NDIS home modifications in Queensland that are practical, compliant, and tailored to real-world needs. With over 20 years of building and renovation experience, we work closely with participants, families, occupational therapists, and support coordinators to create safer homes that support confident, independent living.
NDIS home modifications are physical changes made to a participant’s home to reduce risk, improve accessibility, and support daily activities. These modifications must be considered reasonable and necessary and are typically supported by an occupational therapist (OT) assessment.
Home modifications may be required to:
Modifications can range from minor adjustments to complex structural renovations, depending on the participant’s needs and functional capacity.
Safe access into and out of the home is one of the most common modification needs.
Typical access upgrades include:
These modifications reduce fall risks and allow participants to enter and exit their homes safely and independently.
Bathrooms are one of the highest-risk areas in any home, particularly for people with limited mobility.
Common NDIS bathroom modifications include:
When designed properly, an accessible bathroom can significantly reduce injury risk while improving privacy and dignity.
Kitchen modifications focus on enabling safe meal preparation and daily tasks.
These may include:
Each kitchen modification is tailored to the participant’s reach, strength, and mobility requirements.
Improving movement within the home often involves:
These changes support smoother, safer movement between rooms.

Minor modifications are generally low-risk, non-structural changes such as:
These modifications often require less documentation and can be approved and completed relatively quickly.
Complex modifications involve structural changes or significant alterations to the home, such as:
