Are grab rails covered by the NDIS in Townsville?

Grab rails can be covered by the NDIS in Townsville when they are part of a reasonable and necessary home modification linked to the participant's disability needs and supported by an OT assessment. The trap is assuming any rail counts. Funding usually depends on the rail being specified for safe transfers, shower access, toilet use or entry movement, not just general convenience. In Townsville homes, the quote may also need to cover wall reinforcement, waterproofing make-good or placement around older bathroom layouts so the rail is safe once installed. Ask whether the builder is quoting from the OT report, whether the scope includes supply and installation, and whether the rail work sits inside a bigger bathroom or access modification.
