Is an accessible bathroom covered by the NDIS in Townsville?
An accessible bathroom can be covered by the NDIS in Townsville when the work is considered reasonable and necessary for the participant's disability needs. That usually means an OT assessment first, then quotes that match the recommended scope, such as a hobless shower, grab rails, doorway widening or better toilet access. Cosmetic bathroom upgrades are not the same thing as funded accessibility work. In older Townsville homes, the quote often needs to cover waterproofing, floor regrading and layout changes rather than just fitting rails. We quote this type of modification work for participants, occupational therapists and plan managers. Whether your funding requires a registered provider depends on how your plan is managed, so it is worth confirming that before anything is booked.
