NDIS Core Support

Household
Tasks Support

A clean, safe, and well-maintained home is the foundation of a good life. At Home Care Experts, we take care of the household tasks that have become difficult or impossible, so you can focus your time and energy on what matters most to you.

Get Support at Home

Your home should be a place of comfort, safety, and independence. We are here to make sure it stays that way, without adding pressure to your day.

What is Household Tasks Support?

Practical Help That Makes a Real Difference

Household tasks support is an NDIS-funded service that provides practical assistance with the everyday domestic chores that participants find difficult or impossible to manage due to their disability. It is funded under Core Supports, specifically under Assistance with Daily Life, and is designed to help you maintain a clean, safe, and healthy home environment.

At Home Care Experts, we do not just show up and clean. We take the time to understand your home, your routine, and your preferences so that our support feels natural, consistent, and genuinely helpful. Every visit is built around you, not a generic checklist.

Household task support can be provided on a regular weekly or fortnightly schedule, or as needed depending on your NDIS plan. Whether you need a few hours of help each week or more intensive support, we will work with you to design a schedule that fits your life.

What We Help With

Household Support Services From Home Care Experts

Our support workers assist with a comprehensive range of household tasks. Every service is delivered consistently, reliably, and always in a way that respects your home and your choices.

General House Cleaning

Vacuuming, mopping floors, dusting, wiping down surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, and keeping all regularly used areas of the home clean and hygienic.

Kitchen Cleaning and Meal Preparation

Cleaning stovetops, benchtops, and inside fridges, washing dishes, and assisting with meal planning and preparation to keep your kitchen clean and your meals nutritious.

Laundry and Linen

Sorting, washing, drying, folding, and ironing clothes and linen. Changing bed linen and ensuring your clothing and bedding are always clean and well maintained.

Grocery Shopping and Errands

Accompanying you to the shops or completing grocery runs on your behalf, helping you maintain a well-stocked pantry and manage everyday errands without the stress.

Outdoor and Yard Maintenance

Lawn mowing, edging, weeding, pruning, watering, and general yard tidying to keep outdoor spaces safe, accessible, and well presented throughout the year.

Home Organisation and Decluttering

Helping organise pantries, wardrobes, and living areas so your home feels manageable, accessible, and functional for your day-to-day needs.

Waste and Rubbish Management

Emptying bins, managing rubbish disposal, and putting out bins on collection days so your home environment stays clean and odour free.

Deep and Seasonal Cleaning

Periodic deep cleans, spring cleaning, and seasonal tidying to keep your home in excellent condition and address tasks that go beyond regular weekly maintenance.

Why It Matters

More Than a Clean Home

A well-maintained home does far more than just look good. For NDIS participants, regular household support has a direct and meaningful impact on safety, physical health, mental wellbeing, and overall independence.

When the burden of household chores is lifted, participants have more energy and time for the things that bring them joy, whether that is family, hobbies, community, or simply rest. That is the real value of what Home Care Experts delivers.

A Safer Home Environment

Regular cleaning reduces slip hazards, allergens, bacteria, and other risks that can compromise health and safety, particularly for participants with complex medical needs.

Better Mental Health and Wellbeing

A clean, organised home reduces stress and anxiety. Participants consistently report feeling calmer, more comfortable, and more in control when their living space is well maintained.

More Energy for What Counts

Conserving energy is critical for many participants. Removing the physical and cognitive demands of household chores frees up capacity for meaningful activities and goals.

Greater Independence at Home

With the right support in place, participants can continue living in their own home safely and comfortably for longer, on their own terms and to their own standards.

Relief for Families and Carers

When professional household support is in place, families and informal carers can focus on being present rather than constantly managing domestic responsibilities.

Good to Know

What Household Tasks Funding Does Not Cover

It is important to understand that NDIS household task funding covers domestic assistance directly related to your disability needs. It does not cover general household expenses that any person would be expected to pay for themselves, regardless of disability. If you are unsure what your plan includes, our team can help you clarify this with your NDIS planner or support coordinator.

Is Household Tasks Support in Your NDIS Plan?

Household task assistance is funded under Core Supports, specifically Assistance with Daily Life, in your NDIS plan. If your disability affects your ability to manage domestic chores safely or independently, this support is likely available to you. Our team at Home Care Experts can help you understand exactly what your plan covers and how to make the most of your funding.
