FAQs – Home Lifts in Australia
How much does a home lift cost in Australia?
A home elevator, also known as a home lift, is a great long-term investment that allows you to access all rooms safely without encountering stairs.
But what’s the cost of such an item?
Whether it be for luxury or practical purposes, there are many different types and prices available when looking into buying your own lift.
We summarised the actual lift installed in Sydney and Brisbane to give you a ballpark figure for a home lift price
Which lift on your product range doesn’t need a pit excavation?
The Air Vacuum Home Lift and Flex-E Lift don’t require pit excavation so often are ideal to be placed directly on the existing floor.
Deciding factor when buying home lift or house lift
A lot of Australians are thinking of purchasing a home lift for many reasons.
The lifts can make it easier for physically challenged individuals and senior citizens who have mobility issues by making their homes accessible without the need to use stairs internally.
A new trend is developing with many Australians opting for a residential stairlift as an affordable way so that they can stay at home rather than going into assisted living facilities such as retirement villages or nursing homes when families may not be able to provide full-time care anymore due either financial constraints like high rent costs, lack of availability from other caregivers like nurses and doctors because demand has increased significantly over time leading them near burnout requiring them taking more days off work which means less income coming in.
Are you able to quote from my house plan or photos?
Yes, simply email us your PDF plans with your suburb/town and we will be able to provide some approximate costs.
You can use the link below to upload in our system
https://directlifts.com.au/upload-your-plan-here/
What is the minimum space required for a residential lift?
We have a single rounded passenger elevator with a diameter of 750mm / 30inches. This is the Air Vacuum Home Lift 30 able to support 159/350lbs weight. See the actual project for the smallest home lift we’ve installed in Sydney.
Do you need a council permit for a home lift installation?
Council approval is not required for an interior home elevator installation if there are no structural changes. However, for an exterior home elevator, a notification from the council will be required and in some other states, a building permit may be required.
We recommend to check with your local council as requirements will vary.
What are the main stages for me to install a lift?
Yes, we do have 5 key stages from the start of enquiry to lift installation
Stage 1 – We can provide estimate pricing for a lift based of plans or photos. If not available we can proceed to Stage 2.
Stage 2 – Site visit and survey at a time that suits you for us to then ascertain exact requirements and pricing.
Stage 3 – Upon confirmation of the proposal we can proceed with design stage. Detailed drawings will be supplied with revisions made until final design is ready. Once approved and payment stage is received, then lift manufacture will commence.
Stage 4 – Delivery & Installation, approximately 1 month prior the arrival of the lift, we will be in touch to schedule a pre site check and start date. Once the site is confirmed ready, we can then deliver and begin the installation of the lift. Allow between 1-2 weeks.
Stage 5 – Completion, once installation is completed we will arrange a handover meeting to provide training on how to use the lift, safety measures, manuals and servicing requirements.
Stage 6 – You are now ready to use your new lift!
Can the home lift travel more than 2 levels?
Absolutely, most of our lift range are able to travel up to 5-6 landings with rate load up to 250-500kg
Do I need a phone line for my home lift?
What are the type of door opening available for your Home Lift?
Generally there are two key types of doors:
Swing Doors – These can be manual open or automatic opening to suit your preference.
Automatic Sliding Doors – The same as an elevator. Simply slide open and self close.
Is a home lift GST exempt?
Lifts may be GST exempt, if installation is due to a medical or limited mobility reason. A doctors letter would be required.
https://www.ato.gov.au/law/view/view.htm?PiT=99991231235958&docid=AID%2FAID200637%2F00001
Do you offer a warranty?
Certainly, all our home lifts are covered with at least a one-year warranty from the date of commission or handover.
With some models Warranty is extended if a preventative maintenance agreement is put into place at time of handover.
Can I get NDIS funding for a home lift installation?
Some people are eligible for NDIS support for a home lift installation. Either partially or full subsidy thru NDIS.
Qualifications:
- Below the age of 65 years old
- Australian Citizen & Permanent Resident
- Protected Special Category Visa Holder
Disability Requirements:
Impairment condition is likely to be permanent (life-long)
- Your impairment significantly reduces your ability to participate effectively in any activities or unable to perform a task

Lift for houses that can be installed easily
Hydraulic lifts are the most popular, as they use fluid pressure to raise and lower the platform.
Gearless drive lifts are an environmentally friendly solution as it uses no fossil hydraulic oils, it also has reduced energy consumption due to the use of a counterweight mechanism. This counterweight mechanism balances out the weight of the car plus half of the load that the car can carry. It, therefore, uses up to 90% less energy than any other system.
Finally, pneumatic lifts operate on pressurized air, making them very quiet and smooth-running. Often a builder may not be required for these types of lifts.
