Household Tasks and Cleaning

What does Assistance with Household Tasks and Cleaning mean?

Assistance with Household Tasks and Cleaning (Group 0104) is a Core Support designed to help NDIS participants maintain a safe, hygienic, and organized home environment. This funding covers everyday domestic chores that may be challenging due to physical, cognitive, or psychosocial disabilities. By providing practical help around the house, this support enables you to focus on your well-being, personal goals, and community participation without the stress of managing all the household duties alone.

Key aspects of this support include:

Cleaning, Vacuuming, and Mopping

Ensuring floors and surfaces are free from dust, dirt, and spills to reduce fall risks and promote a healthy living environment.

Dishwashing and Laundry Support

Assisting with washing dishes, loading/unloading the dishwasher, and helping with washing, drying, folding, and putting away clothes.

Organising and Maintaining a Safe, Tidy Home

Helping you declutter, arrange furniture safely, and create systems for easily locating household items—minimizing hazards and streamlining daily routines.

Support with General Home Upkeep

Performing light maintenance tasks (e.g., changing lightbulbs, replacing batteries in smoke alarms), emptying bins, and ensuring communal areas remain clean and functional.

By delivering these services, Assist Lifestyle aims to reduce health and safety risks, maintain your independence, and create a comfortable living space that supports your holistic wellbeing.

Why Choose Us?

Why Choose Household Tasks and Cleaning from Assist Lifestyle?

Qualified, Experienced Support Workers

Our team includes NDIS-accredited Disability Support Workers who have completed specialized training in domestic assistance. They follow strict NDIS Practice Standards for infection control, manual handling, and safe chemical use—ensuring your home is cleaned efficiently and safely.

Person-Centred, Strengths-Based Approach

We begin by listening to your preferences: which cleaning products you like, how you organize your belongings, and what standards of cleanliness you expect. We build on your existing routines—encouraging you to participate in tasks you’re comfortable with while we support you in areas that present challenges.

Holistic & Coordinated Support Pathways

Assistance with Household Tasks often intersects with other supports—such as Occupational Therapy (recommending adaptive equipment like ergonomic mop handles) or Support Coordination (adjusting funding allocations when your needs change). We collaborate with allied health professionals and other providers to create a seamless support network tailored to your goals.

Safe & Supportive Environment

We prioritize your wellbeing and privacy. Our staff are police-checked, fully insured, and trained in respectful communication. When you allow us into your home, you can trust that we’ll treat your space with care—minimising disruptions and maintaining confidentiality.

Ongoing Monitoring & Flexible Adaptation

As your abilities or living arrangements evolve, we schedule regular reviews of your cleaning and household tasks plan. If you become more independent in certain areas (e.g., vacuuming), we adjust the level of support accordingly. Conversely, if new barriers arise (e.g., recovering from surgery), we increase assistance temporarily to ensure you remain safe and comfortable.
