Dear
AT Practitioners
A
recent audit of applications to the Aids & Equipment Program has identified
that a number of practitioners have requested minor home modifications,
including rails, to more than one bathroom or toilet.
While
we understand the rationale for having rails installed in an ensuite and main
toilet, given the demand for support on our program, please note that we can
only accept singular modification requests for bathrooms and toilets, for each
consumer/household, effective from 01 August 2021. This change aligns with our practice of
accepting access modifications to one area of the home only.
If you have any queries please email swep@bhs.org.au
