Complex Home Modifications in 5 easy steps!
We will come to you and complete an initial home assessment with a project manager of your choice & submit a report with recommendations and scope of works to NDIS as agreed with you. |
Our CHMA will write a detailed report clinically justifying your needs within the NDIS Guidelines; review the proposed Scope of Works with you & once agreed, lodge the final application with NDIS. |
NDIS will review the application & advise you on the outcome. They may contact your CHMA to get further information. If approval is not given, NDIS will provide reasons & any next steps required. |
Once approved, your selected Project Manager will work with you to coordinate the build & as per the detailed Scope of Works. |
Once complete, your CHMA will arrange to visit with you again & sign off on the CHM. If there are any issues identified then these will be taken back to the Project Manager to be resolved before sign off! |
