Accessible Bathroom Renovations Built Around You

A disabled or accessible bathroom renovation is about far more than adding a grab rail or swapping a bath for a shower. Done properly, it’s a considered redesign of circulation space, fixture height, entry points, and surface finish, so the person using the bathroom every day can do so safely, comfortably, and with dignity.

At Clearview Renovations, we manage the entire process from initial site assessment through to final handover: design, demolition, plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, and fit-out. We work to the Australian Standard for accessible design (AS 1428.1), and where a client has an occupational therapist involved, we build directly from the OT’s recommendations rather than treating them as a rough guide. The result is a bathroom that meets the standard on paper and works properly in practice.

Whether you’re renovating for a family member with a permanent disability, adapting a home to support someone after surgery or a fall, or planning for ageing in place, our team can talk you through what’s possible within your layout and your budget.

What Makes a Bathroom Accessible and Compliant

Accessible bathroom design in Australia is governed by AS 1428.1 – Design for Access and Mobility, which sets out the minimum requirements for safe, usable bathrooms for people with a range of mobility needs. We design and build to this standard as a baseline, then adjust further based on the individual’s OT report or specific requirements.
Key elements we plan for in every accessible bathroom renovation include:

Circulation space

a minimum 1540mm x 2070mm clear turning circle where a wheelchair user needs to manoeuvre, positioned so the person isn’t forced to reverse in and out of the room.

Hobless (step-free) shower entry

a level, continuous floor from the bathroom into the shower recess, graded to a floor waste so there’s no lip or hob to trip on or wheel over.

Grab rail placement

orrectly positioned and structurally backed rails at the shower, toilet, and, where needed, the vanity, fixed into solid blocking rather than tile alone.

Slip-resistant flooring

floor tiles and shower bases selected to meet the required slip-resistance rating (R10/R11 or better depending on the wet area), rather than a decorative tile that looks the part but doesn’t perform.

Door widths and clearances

a minimum 820mm clear door opening, with swing direction and handle height considered so the door doesn’t obstruct a wheelchair, walking frame, or carer.

Fixture height and reach

toilet, basin, and tap height and position set to AS 1428.1 reach ranges, with lever-action or single-lever taps that don’t require grip strength or fine motor control.

Seating and support

fold-down or fixed shower seats, positioned in line with the shower rose and grab rails so the sequence of the shower actually works for the person using it.

We also build in the small details that make the biggest difference day to day: contrasting tile tones so edges and thresholds are easier to see, adequate lighting, heating where needed, and enough bench and storage space at a usable height. Compliance is the baseline. Usability is the goal.

How the Renovation Can Be Funded

Accessible bathroom renovations are funded through a number of different pathways, and the right one depends on the person’s circumstances. We’re happy to talk through what we understand about each pathway, though funding eligibility and approvals always sit with the relevant scheme or agency, not with us as the builder.

  • NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme)

    Home modifications, including bathroom renovations, can be funded under a participant's NDIS plan where the modification is assessed as necessary and reasonable. This generally requires a report from an occupational therapist that specifies the modifications required, which is then used to support funding through the participant's plan.

  • My Aged Care and Home Care Packages

    Older Australians accessing a Home Care Package may be able to use package funds toward bathroom modifications that support safe, independent living at home, such as step-free showers, grab rails, and improved circulation space. This is typically arranged through the person's home care provider or case manager.

  • Home modification and private pathways

    Where a project sits outside NDIS or aged care funding, we also complete accessible bathroom renovations on a private, fixed-price basis, including as part of a broader home renovation.

OUR RECENT PROJECTS

Working With Your Occupational Therapist

Where a client’s renovation is guided by an OT report, that report becomes the starting point for our design, not a document we glance at once and set aside. An OT report typically specifies things like clear floor space, grab rail height and location, shower seat position, and door clearances based on the individual’s specific mobility, transfer method, and equipment.

Clearview Renovations translates that report into an actual, buildable scope of work: confirming what’s structurally possible within the existing bathroom footprint, identifying where walls, plumbing, or drainage need to move to achieve the required clearances, and pricing the job against the exact specifications the OT has set out. Where something in the report isn’t achievable within the existing space, we’ll flag it early and work with you and the OT on an alternative that still meets the intent of the recommendation.

We’re also comfortable liaising directly with an OT, support coordinator, or family member throughout the project, so everyone involved in the person’s care is kept informed as the build progresses. This is often what separates a proper accessible bathroom renovation from a general renovator adding a few grab rails after the fact: the build is driven by the assessment, not guesswork.

" Clearview Renovations recently completed a full renovation of our laundry, bathroom, kitchen, floors throughout, and some structural work, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Their attention to detail is outstanding, and it’s clear they take immense pride in their work.

The team dynamic between Sam and Dugs really made the process seamless. Sam provided design inspiration and was fantastic with client communication, always making sure our vision was understood and respected.

frequently asked questions

AS 1428.1 is the Australian Standard for accessible design, setting out requirements such as circulation space, door widths, grab rail placement, and fixture heights. It’s the design standard Clearview Renovations builds to for accessible bathroom renovations, and it’s typically the benchmark used in NDIS and OT-specified home modifications, even where the renovation isn’t a formally certified build.
Under AS 1428.1, an accessible bathroom generally needs a clear circulation space of at least 1540mm x 2070mm for a wheelchair turning circle, a minimum 820mm clear door opening, and a level, hobless shower entry graded to a floor waste. Grab rails, tap height, and seat position are set to specific reach ranges rather than a single fixed dimension, which is why an individual OT assessment matters alongside the standard.
Bathroom modifications can be funded through a participant’s NDIS plan where an occupational therapist’s report identifies the changes as necessary and reasonable for the person’s disability. The report is used to support the funding request, and the renovation is then built to the specifications set out in that report.
It isn’t always required, but for NDIS-funded or aged care-funded modifications, an OT report is typically the basis for both funding approval and the design itself. Even for privately funded renovations, we’d recommend an OT assessment where the bathroom needs to support a specific medical condition or mobility equipment, as it ensures the layout is right for the person, not just compliant on paper.
Costs vary depending on the extent of layout and plumbing changes required. As a guide, an essential accessible renovation typically starts around 15,000–25,000, a full accessible renovation with re-layout and structural work sits between 25,000–40,000, and a complex renovation built to a detailed OT specification can exceed $40,000. Contact Clearview Renovations for a fixed-price quote based on your bathroom.
In most cases, yes. The scope depends on the existing footprint and whether walls, doorways, or plumbing need to move to achieve the required circulation space and hobless shower entry. We assess this on-site and advise honestly where a full re-layout is needed versus where a more modest modification will achieve the outcome.
A general renovation is designed around style and everyday use. An accessible bathroom renovation is designed around a specific person’s mobility, transfer method, and safety requirements, and is typically built to AS 1428.1 and, where relevant, an OT’s report. The sequencing, structural blocking for grab rails, floor grading, and fixture heights all differ from a standard renovation.

frequently asked questions

Bathroom renovation costs in Sydney vary widely depending on the size of the space, materials selected, layout changes, and scope of work. As a guide: standard renovations typically start around $25,000–$38,000, mid-range projects fall between $38,000–$55,000, and high-end or luxury renovations can exceed $55,000+, depending on finishes and structural changes.

Most full bathroom renovations in Sydney take approximately 3–5 weeks from demolition through to completion, when managed professionally. More complex projects with structural changes, custom cabinetry, or specialty finishes may take longer.

Not always. In Sydney, minor interior upgrades (like replacing tiles, fixtures, or upgrading fittings in the same footprint) generally do not require council approval. However, if your renovation involves structural changes, new plumbing/drainage locations, or expanding the bathroom space, a Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC) may be required. Always check with your local council or professional builder before starting work.

Yes. In NSW, contractors performing bathroom renovations valued at over $5,000 (labour and materials) must hold the appropriate contractor licence. Renovation specialists like us employ licensed tradespeople and qualified supervisors to ensure compliance with NSW Fair Trading requirements, building codes, and industry standards.

Yes. All bathroom renovations requiring waterproofing in Sydney must comply with Australian Standard AS 3740 and be completed by a licensed waterproofer. Once the waterproofing is finished, a waterproofing certificate is issued, which is often required for certification, council checks, strata records, and future property transactions.
