I need vehicle modifications

How can I get vehicle modifications? If you need a modified vehicle to help you get to work or study, or to carry out your role as a carer, the Ministry may be able to help.

Step 1

Your doctor or health service refers you to an assessment service. This could be an occupational therapist or a driving assessment service.

Step 2

Your therapist or assessor will discuss with you what is needed to enable you to get to or from work or study, or to look after someone in your care.

Step 3

Your therapist or assessor sends a request to Accessable for funding of a specialised assessment of the vehicle modifications you need.

Step 4

If your vehicle needs complicated modifications, Accessable will review the possible solutions.

Step 5

Once the work is completed by the vehicle modifier, your assessor makes sure that they meet your needs.

Step 6

The modified vehicle is your responsibility to repair, service and replace.
