Sydney Home Maintenance & Modification Service

The Sydney Home Maintenance and Modification Service in Marrickville is a home modification and maintenance programme operated through UnitingCare Ageing (now Uniting), providing older adults and people with disability in the inner west and surrounding areas with affordable, professional home modifications and general maintenance to enable safe, independent living at home. The service installs grab rails, ramp access, shower modifications, non-slip flooring, handrails, and other safety-focused home adaptations, as well as providing general home maintenance such as gutter cleaning, minor repairs, and garden maintenance that older residents can no longer safely manage themselves. Funded through government home care programmes and available to eligible Home Care Package holders, this practical service helps inner-west Sydney seniors remain in their own homes safely for longer, reducing avoidable admissions to residential aged care.
