When a home stops working for the person living in it, the right modifications make a real difference. Gemini Property Maintenance Group delivers NDIS home modifications in Melbourne VIC, working directly with participants, occupational therapists, and support providers to get the right changes done properly. We are a registered NDIS provider (4-GHHJR2Q) and a licensed builder (DBU70140), so participants can fund their modifications through us without jumping through extra hoops. 

Who We Work With on Every Job in Melbourne 

Most NDIS modification projects involve more than just the participant. There is usually an occupational therapist, sometimes a SIL or SDA provider, and always a family member or carer keeping a close eye on things. Gemini is set up to work with all of them without anyone getting lost in the middle. 

We regularly partner with: 

●Occupational therapists (OTs) - we work straight from OT reports and flag anything that needs clarifying before work starts, not after 

●SIL providers - for participants in supported independent living arrangements who need modifications to suit their specific support model 

●SDA providers - for new builds or significant property changes that need to meet Specialist Disability Accommodation standards 

●Families and carers - who often coordinate the job day to day and need clear, consistent communication throughout 

One thing families tell us often is that coordinating multiple tradies across an NDIS modification is exhausting. Gemini handles all the trades in-house, so there is one number to call and one team keeping the job on track. 

What NDIS Home Modifications in Melbourne Can Include 

The scope of modifications under the NDIS is broader than most people realise. It goes well beyond a handrail on the wall. Gemini carries out NDIS complex home modifications across all areas of a home, from bathrooms and kitchens through to structural changes that support equipment and mobility aids. 

Bathroom and Wet Area Modifications in Melbourne Homes 

Bathrooms are the most common area we modify in Melbourne homes. Work here typically involves level entry shower installations, slip-resistant tiling, grab rail and handrail fitting, certified waterproofing, and full rebuilds where the existing layout does not suit the participant's needs. We are certified waterproofers, so this work is done to a proper standard, not patched over. 

Access, Ramps, and Entry Points 

Getting in and out of the home safely is often the first priority for participants in Melbourne. We install concrete and timber ramps, widen doorways to suit wheelchairs and mobility aids, clear pathway hazards, and address any entry points that create a fall risk. These changes follow the OT report closely, and we do not cut corners on compliance. 

Living Areas, Kitchens, and Structural Work 

Modifications beyond the bathroom include ceiling hoist installations, structural supports, automatic door fittings, kitchen benchtop and layout adjustments, and storage changes that work around a participant's equipment. For participants who need SDA-compliant builds or more substantial structural changes, we handle those projects as well. 

All completed works come with compliance and warranty certificates, which plan managers and providers need for their records. 

What Sets Gemini Apart From Other Builders in Melbourne 

Plenty of builders in Melbourne will say they do NDIS work. Fewer have the registration, the experience, and the in-house trades to actually see a complex modification through from start to finish. Gemini has been operating since 1984 and is still family-owned, which shapes the way we approach every job. 

A few things that consistently come up with the participants and providers we work with in Melbourne: 

●We hold both our NDIS provider registration and our builder's licence, so nothing falls through the gap between compliance and construction 

●Participants deal with one contact throughout the job, not a different person at every stage 

●We cover plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and tiling without subcontracting everything out, which keeps the timeline tighter and the communication cleaner 

●We also carry out ongoing maintenance after modifications are complete, so participants have a reliable contact for anything that needs attention later 

That last point matters more than people expect. A modification is only useful if it keeps working, and having the original builder handle maintenance means issues get fixed without a lengthy explanation of what was done and why.
