Repairs and maintenance Platform lifts need regular maintenance and cleaning to keep them slip resistant and in good working order. Low-rise platform lifts (up to 1.5 metres high) are available on long-term loan from the Ministry of Health. You must return the lift when it is no longer needed. The Ministry of Health covers the costs of all repairs, maintenance and installation or removal of any borrowed low-rise platform lift. Such work is completed by the Ministry of Health’s equipment providers, either: Accessable (for people living in Auckland or Northland) Enable New Zealand (for people living in the rest of New Zealand). The home-owner is responsible for all costs associated with maintaining a platform lift that is over 1.5 metres high, including any repairs, maintenance, installation, replacement or removal. This type of platform lift is part of the home-owner’s property.
