MHM - Electrical and Door Automation

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item is allocated under the Capital - Home Modifications category and covers the cost of Minor Home Modifications (MHM) specifically related to electrical installations and door automation systems.

This funding is crucial for enhancing the participant's independence, safety, and ability to enter, exit, and navigate their home environment without constant reliance on support staff or family. It addresses needs that require professional building work and often collaboration between an Occupational Therapist, an electrician, and a builder.

The key modifications funded under this line item include:

Door Automation: The supply and installation of automatic door openers and closers for both internal and external doors, which can be operated via a remote, switch, or other Assistive Technology interface.

Electrical Modifications: Relocation or installation of power points, light switches, and other controls to accessible heights or locations for wheelchair users or those with limited reach/dexterity.

Intercom and Access Systems: Electrical wiring and installation of adapted doorbells, intercoms, or smart locks that can be managed by the participant.

As a Home Modification (MHM), this support involves permanent changes to the dwelling. It is categorised under the NDIS Registration Group 0111: Home Modification Design and Construction, and the expenditure must be supported by evidence from a qualified Allied Health Professional recommending the modification. Claims are made against the specific support number: 06_182100401_0111_2_2.
