Household Tasks & Domestic Help

Keep your home safe, clean, and organized with trustworthy NDIS domestic assistance and household task support.

What household task support is

Household task support is NDIS funding for practical help with domestic tasks you cannot safely or independently complete because of your disability.

It is not a general cleaning or home maintenance service. It is funded support, provided because your disability creates a direct barrier to managing your home on your own.

Household task support is for participants who find it difficult or unsafe to complete domestic tasks due to their disability. This might be because of physical limitations, fatigue, pain, cognitive difficulties, or mental health conditions that affect your capacity to manage day-to-day home life.

What we help with

SA Holistic Care is registered under NDIS registration group 0120, Household Tasks. We provide support with:

Cleaning

Vacuuming, mopping, bathroom and toilet cleaning, kitchen surfaces, appliances, dusting, emptying bins, and general tidying. Essential hygiene and safety, not cosmetic or deep cleaning.

Laundry

Washing, drying, folding, and ironing clothes and bed linen.

Meal preparation

Planning and preparing meals that meet your dietary needs. The NDIS funds the support worker's time, not the cost of groceries.

Grocery and errands support

Assistance with shopping and running essential household errands. Your support worker's time is funded, not the cost of goods.

Home organisation

Help organising your living space so it is safe, accessible, and manageable for you.

Yard and outdoor maintenance

Basic lawn mowing, weeding, clearing pathways, and maintaining outdoor areas so they are safe and accessible. Minor home maintenance directly related to your disability needs.

What household task support does not cover

Household task support does not cover:

  • General lifestyle services that anyone would access regardless of disability
  • Cleaning shared areas of a home where other non-disabled residents are capable of cleaning those areas themselves
  • The cost of cleaning products, groceries, or other household goods, the NDIS funds your support worker's time, not supplies
  • Major home repairs, renovations, or structural work
  • Specialist trade services such as plumbing, electrical, or pest control
  • Luxury or cosmetic cleaning beyond what is required for safety and hygiene

    • If you need physical modifications to your home, grab rails, ramps, or bathroom modifications, those are funded under a separate category: Capital Supports, Home Modifications.

    Is this support right for you?

    Household task support may be right for you if:

  • Your disability makes it difficult or unsafe to complete essential domestic tasks independently
  • You want to maintain a clean, safe home but cannot manage it on your own
  • Your NDIS plan includes funding under Core Supports, Assistance with Daily Life (Category 01)

    • Household task funding is based on your functional capacity, what your disability prevents you from doing safely, not your diagnosis alone. Your occupational therapist or support coordinator can help document this clearly if it is not already in your plan.

    If household tasks are not currently funded in your plan, you can request they be included at your next plan review by explaining how your disability affects your ability to complete them.

    FAQ's

    Common questions

    Most frequently asked questions about our Household Tasks & Home Support service

    What is the difference between household tasks and personal care?

    Both fall under Assistance with Daily Life (Category 01), but they cover different things. Personal care covers support with your body, showering, dressing, grooming. Household tasks cover support with your home, cleaning, laundry, meals. Both can appear in your plan at the same time.

    Does my NDIS plan need to specifically include household task funding?

    Yes. Household task support is funded under Core Supports, Category 01 — Assistance with Daily Life, registration group 0120. If it is not in your current plan, speak with your support coordinator or LAC about requesting it at your next plan review.

    How many hours of support can I receive?

    There is no fixed number. Hours are determined by your individual support needs and what the NDIS considers reasonable and necessary for your situation. Your support coordinator can help you understand what is realistic to request.

    Can I use household task funding if I live with other people?

    Yes, but the funding covers support related to your needs only. If you live with others who are capable of cleaning shared areas, the NDIS will not fund support for those areas. Your support worker focuses on the areas of your home that are directly affected by your disability.

    Will I have the same support worker each visit?

    Yes. We assign a consistent support worker to your support. Familiarity matters, a support worker who knows your home and your routine provides better, more efficient support.

    Does the NDIS cover cleaning products and supplies?

    No. The NDIS funds your support worker's time. Cleaning products, groceries, and other household supplies are general living expenses and are not covered by your NDIS plan.

    Can household task support be combined with other NDIS supports?

    Yes. Household tasks are commonly delivered alongside personal care, community participation, or other daily living supports. Where relevant, we coordinate with other providers to make sure support is consistent.
