EnableNSW

EnableNSW has partnered with the NSW Ministry of Health to implement a new state-wide home modifications funding program as part of the Safe and Supported at Home (SASH) initiative. The aim of the program is to assist people where discharge from hospital or potential readmission is impacted by an ability to access home modifications. For further information see the program page.

Our application form has recently been updated, with some important changes to help us assess your eligibility. An application form should be completed if you are applying to EnableNSW for the first time and at least once every two years to ensure your information is up to date. When needed, please access the form directly from our website to ensure you are using the correct version and to avoid any unnecessary delays.
