Are ceiling hoists covered by the NDIS in Townsville?

Ceiling hoists can be covered by the NDIS in Townsville when they are recommended as a reasonable and necessary support tied to the participant's disability needs, but approval usually depends on the hoist being part of a properly scoped access solution rather than a standalone wishlist item. The OT assessment normally sets out why transfers need to be safer and whether the home layout can support the track path between the bedroom, bathroom or toilet. In Townsville, that can get more complex in older homes where ceiling structure, wet-area layouts or step-down bathrooms affect installation scope and price. Ask whether the quote covers structural fixing, electrical work, track layout and any make-good work, not just the hoist unit itself.
