Household tasks and home routines

Agree the tasks that matter

Tell us which everyday jobs are difficult and which you want to keep doing yourself. We can discuss a practical list of tasks and priorities, rather than assuming the same cleaning or home routine suits everyone.

Everyday examples

Support might include cleaning agreed household areas, doing laundry and putting clothes away, or preparing a meal and tidying the kitchen. We discuss the tasks with you and agree on the help you would like.

Plan supplies and access

Before starting, discuss the equipment and products available, any preferences about how they are used, access to the home and what needs to be left undisturbed. Agree what can reasonably be done within the support time.

Be clear about the boundaries

Household support is not a promise to complete every cleaning, repair or maintenance task. Specialist cleaning, heavy work and any task outside the agreed service need separate consideration. A listed household task is not, by itself, confirmation that it can be paid for through your plan.

Support in Melbourne and across Victoria

Tell us your suburb, preferred days and the support you would like. We will discuss availability, worker suitability and any travel arrangements with you before confirming your support.

Before you decide

Ask about the tasks, schedule, rates, travel, changes and cancellation terms that would apply to your arrangement. If you plan to use NDIS funding, clarify how the proposed support fits your plan and funding arrangements before committing.

Questions about household support

Who supplies cleaning products?
Discuss the products, equipment and any related costs before support starts; do not assume they are included.

Can I work alongside the support worker?
Tell us what you want to do yourself and where assistance helps. If your main goal is learning a skill rather than completing a task, explore our life skills support as well.
