What household help covers
A support worker helps with the jobs that keep a home clean, safe and comfortable, when disability makes them hard to do yourself.
- Cleaning: the kitchen, bathroom and floors.
- Laundry: washing, drying and changing the beds.
- Meal preparation: planning and cooking simple meals.
- Keeping the house running: tidying, putting things away and the jobs that pile up.
Alongside your personal care
Many people book household help in the same visit as personal care, so one visit covers the morning routine and the jobs around the house.
How it's paid for
Household tasks can be paid from your NDIS funding if they're included in your plan. The NDIS funds help with tasks you can't do because of your disability. It doesn't pay everyday living costs, like groceries or bills.
Need more help than your plan allows?
Describe it at your next plan meeting or check-in. The clearest way to show it is a diary of one real week: what help was needed, who gave it and how long it took, including the hard days.
