How can Homeable help my client?

Smart Home Technology and automation can be a powerful enabler to unlock empowerment and independence for people with disability. But smart home technology is often complex to navigate, difficult to install and overall inaccessible for people with disability. This is where Homeable comes in. We offer an end-to end service so that individuals can feel more safe, independent and comfortable in their own home.

How can I refer my client?

You can complete the smart home assessment on behalf of your client. Once you have submitted their smart home assessment you will be redirected to book in their 30 minute virtual consultation. Alternatively, you can contact us at team@homeable.com.au or call 0418 210 085. Find more info here.

Is it covered by NDIS?

Yes, smart home technology is considered assistive technology. Participants can use their Core-consumables funding if their solution is under $1500 or if they have assistive technology in their capital funding, it can be covered by that. Our education sessions can be purchased using a participant’s capacity building.

Can the Smart Home Consultation occur in person?

On request, Homeable may be able to conduct the consultation in person. This is dependent on the client’s location and the travel distance.
