Are stair lifts covered by the NDIS in Townsville?

Stair lifts can be covered by the NDIS in Townsville when they are recommended as a reasonable and necessary home modification for a participant's disability, but they are not approved automatically just because a home has stairs. The OT report usually needs to explain why a lift is the right access solution instead of a ramp, layout change or downstairs living setup. That matters in Townsville because many high-set homes have long external stair runs, undercroft space and entry layouts that change what can actually be installed. Ask whether the quote covers the lift itself, electrical work, structural fixing points and any weather exposure issues for outdoor stairs. We quote and carry out this kind of accessibility work, and we build to what the occupational therapist has recommended rather than around it.
