Accessible transport for independent travel
Overview

What Are NDIS Vehicle Modifications?

Vehicle modifications are changes made to a car, van, or other vehicle so that you can drive it or travel in it safely despite your disability. The NDIS can fund these modifications when they are reasonable and necessary and directly related to your disability support needs.

Important note: The NDIS funds the modifications and related supports (such as assessments and training), but not the purchase of the vehicle itself.

Common examples include:

  • Wheelchair ramps, hoists, and lifts for easy entry and exit
  • Hand controls, steering aids, and pedal modifications for drivers
  • Swivel seats, transfer aids, and modified restraints
  • Lowered floors, raised roofs, and wheelchair securement systems
  • Additional mirrors, cameras, visual alert systems, and simplified controls
  • Relocating or transferring existing modifications to a new vehicle

Good to know

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the NDIS pay for the whole vehicle?

No. The NDIS funds reasonable and necessary modifications, assessments, training, and related costs — not the base vehicle purchase.

How do I know if my vehicle is suitable?

Our team and partnered assessors will evaluate compatibility during the initial stages.

What if I want to buy a second-hand modified vehicle?

The NDIS may fund the additional cost attributable to the existing modifications (subject to assessment and approval).

Are there waiting times?

Timelines vary based on complexity, funding approval, and supplier availability. We work efficiently to minimise delays.

Do modifications affect insurance or warranty?

We use certified installers and advise on these matters. Many manufacturers preserve warranties for approved modifications.

Can modifications be transferred to a new car?

Yes — this is often a cost-effective option supported by the NDIS.
