Government Funding

Can I claim government funding for grab rails?

Many clients can — but approval must happen before installation. Grab rails may be funded under My Aged Care (65+) or NDIS (under 65 with disability).

The Typical Process:

• Assessment: An OT visits to assess your functional needs.
• Recommendation: The OT issues a report/scope of work.
• Quotation: We provide a formal quote based on that report.
• Approval: Your provider (e.g., NDIS or Home Care Case Manager) approves the funds.
• Installation: We schedule and complete the work.

If rails are installed privately before approval, reimbursement is usually not possible.
