What Household Tasks Does the NDIS Cover?

NDIS household task support covers everyday help around the home — cleaning, laundry, and yard or garden upkeep — for participants whose disability makes these tasks difficult to manage alone.

What's included

This typically means things like vacuuming, dishes, laundry, changing bed linen, and basic yard maintenance such as mowing or clearing paths, so the home stays safe and manageable.

It doesn't usually cover one-off deep cleans, major renovations, or tasks unrelated to the participant's own living space — funding is meant for ongoing, disability-related support rather than general household services.

How it's funded and delivered

Household tasks are funded under a participant's Core supports, which means the funding is generally flexible and can be adjusted as needs change through the plan period.

Support workers typically work alongside the participant rather than only doing tasks for them, which can help build routines and confidence over time where that's a goal.

Guidance to Independence provides household task support to participants across Narellan and South West Sydney, delivered around each participant's own routine. Make a referral or get in touch to find out more.
