Accessible & aged-care bathrooms in Devonport.
Level-entry showers, correctly fixed grab rails, slip-resistant floors and proper turning space, designed to the principles of AS 1428. For ageing in place and NDIS-funded modifications across Devonport and the North-West Coast.
Bathrooms that work for the long term.
The North-West Coast has an older population than the Tasmanian average, and many Devonport, Latrobe and Ulverstone homeowners want to stay in the house they love rather than move. A well-designed accessible bathroom is what makes that possible. Done properly it does not look clinical; it looks like a clean, modern bathroom that simply happens to be safe and easy to use.
What we build to AS 1428 principles.
- Level-entry (hobless) shower so there is nothing to trip on and a shower chair or wheelchair can roll in.
- Reinforced wall noggings built into the frame so grab rails can be placed exactly where needed and safely bear weight.
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat positioned to the user, not to wherever a stud happens to be.
- Slip-resistant floor tiles with an appropriate slip rating throughout the wet area.
- Turning and circulation space and fixture heights suited to the user.
- Lever tapware and a comfort-height toilet for easier daily use.
Working with OTs and the NDIS.
Many accessible bathrooms we build follow an occupational therapist’s recommendations as part of an NDIS or My Aged Care home modification. We are comfortable quoting to an OT scope and coordinating the work so the finished room matches exactly what was assessed and funded. The same level-entry shower we build for accessibility is the one featured on our walk-in showers page; here it is part of a whole-room safety design.
2026 cost, with a worked example.

Do you build to AS 1428?
Yes, we design to the principles of AS 1428: level-entry showers, reinforced grab rails, slip-resistant floors, turning space and appropriate fixture heights.
Can you work with an OT or NDIS plan?
Yes. We quote to an occupational therapist's scope and coordinate so the finished bathroom matches what was assessed and funded.
Why install grab rails properly?
Rails only work fixed to solid noggings built into the frame, not plasterboard. Reinforcing during the renovation means rails go exactly where the user needs them.
