CHM - Deposit

Line Item Description

This NDIS support item is allocated under the Capital - Home Modifications category. The line item 06_182495121_0111_2_2 is specifically used to pay the deposit required to secure a building contractor for an approved Home Modification (HM) project.

For significant or structural home modifications, such as those related to bathrooms, kitchens, or access ramps, a contract with a licensed builder is required. This line item ensures that the participant has the means to pay the initial deposit to the builder, as stipulated in the formal building contract. This payment is necessary to confirm the booking, allow the builder to start planning and procurement (e.g., ordering custom materials or obtaining permits), and officially commence the project.

Key considerations for this support item are:

Contract Requirement: The deposit must be paid under a formal, legally binding contract for approved Home Modifications.

Approval: This payment is only made after the full Home Modification project and its associated design, quotes, and scope of work have been formally approved by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).

Capital Budget: The amount claimed comes from the participant's Capital budget, designated for Home Modifications.

This support is registered under the NDIS Registration Group 0111: Home Modification Design and Construction, and it facilitates the financial process required to transition from the planning phase to the construction phase of a major home modification.
