NDIS Household Tasks in Perth That Take Pressure Off Your Week
Cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, and home help for NDIS participants in Perth’s Northern Suburbs. The practical support that keeps the home running when housework is too much to manage alone.
Household tasks under the NDIS cover the practical work that keeps a home running. Cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, grocery shopping, light yard maintenance, and home organisation.
These are the tasks that often get harder when a disability is involved. Sometimes because they’re impossible. More often because they’re tiring, painful, unsafe, or simply take more energy than there is to spend At Beyond Limits Assistance, we send a support worker to your home, work to your standards, and handle the tasks that have become too much. We can do the work for you, or work alongside you so you keep doing what you can.
The kind of support this can make possible:
A home that no longer feels like it's getting away from you
More energy left over for the parts of life you actually enjoy
Reduced pressure on family carers or partners doing the work on top of their own lives
Meals that suit your needs, prepared safely and on time
Help during recovery, flare-ups, or bad weeks
A weekly rhythm that holds even when your week doesn't
You can use household tasks support for weekly visits, fortnightly visits, one-off help during a difficult week, or seasonal jobs like a deep clean. We work to whatever rhythm fits your plan and your week.
Weekly house cleaning
Vacuuming, mopping, dusting, surfaces, bathrooms, kitchens, and the general cleaning that keeps the house feeling looked after.
Kitchen and meal prep
Cooking, chopping, portioning meals for the week, cleaning the kitchen, and preparing food that fits your dietary needs.
Laundry and linen
Washing, drying, folding, ironing, hanging clothes, and changing bed linen at your pace and to the standard you keep.
Grocery shopping
Shopping with you at the supermarket, or shopping on your behalf. Either way, you decide what comes home.
Light yard maintenance
Lawn mowing, weeding, sweeping pathways, and basic outdoor tidying that keeps your yard safe and accessible.
Home organisation
Tidying, sorting, decluttering, and setting up simple systems that make the home easier to maintain week to week.
HOW WE CAN HELP
Practical Home Support, Done the Way You Want It Done
Household work looks different in every home. We agree the task list with you up front, follow your preferences on how each one is handled, and stay consistent week to week. You can change it any time.
WHO IT CAN HELP
Household Support For the Weeks, Days, or Seasons When Home Becomes Too Much
Some participants need household help every week. Others only on bad days, during flare-ups, after surgery, or when family carers have been stretched too thin for too long.
We can build the support around whatever rhythm makes sense for you and your home.
This support may suit you if you:
Have a physical disability that makes lifting, bending, or carrying difficult
Live with chronic illness or fatigue that makes housework draining
Are recovering from surgery, an injury, or a health setback
Have a disability that makes cooking, knives, or hot surfaces unsafe
Live with a partner or family member who’s been doing it all on top of their own work
Need a hand with the heavier tasks while you manage the lighter ones
Want to keep building your independence at home, with help alongside you rather than instead of you
Have a busy week, a bad week, or a season where you just need help getting on top of the house
HOW IT WORKS
Setting Up Household Help That Actually Fits Your Home
The first visit is a chat, not work. We come to your home, see how things sit, talk through which tasks you want help with, and only then do we start. No surprises and no rushed setup.
We come to your home and walk through what needs doing
We visit your home (or video-call if that suits) to see the space, talk about the tasks you want help with, and understand how you like things done. We also work through scheduling, products, and access details so the first proper visit runs smoothly.
We agree the task list and the rhythm
Together we settle on the tasks, the schedule, and the worker. Weekly, fortnightly, multiple visits a week, or one-off as you need them. You can change any of it at any time.
Support starts, and we keep checking it's working
Your worker arrives at the agreed times, follows the task list, and respects your preferences. We check in regularly to see whether the schedule still suits you, and adjust as your needs shift.
What you decide up front
You can let us know things like:
Which tasks are on the list and which aren’t
How often you’d like visits (weekly, fortnightly, ad-hoc)
What products and equipment to use, and who provides them
Access arrangements (key, door code, family member let-in)
How communication should work (with you, with a family member, with a support coordinator)
Any cultural, religious, or dietary considerations for the kitchen
FOR THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD
Help That Takes Pressure Off Everyone in the Home
Household support often isn’t only for the participant. It’s also for the partner who’s been managing the cooking on top of everything else. The adult child who comes by on weekends to do the cleaning. The teenager doing the laundry because their parent is too tired by Friday to face it.
When we step in to handle the household tasks, the relief travels through the whole home.
Some participants tell us the biggest change isn’t the cleaner kitchen. It’s what their partner is suddenly able to do with a free Saturday morning.
What NDIS Household Tasks Funding Covers (and What It Doesn’t)
The NDIS pays for the support worker’s time to do the tasks. It does not pay for:
Groceries or food
Cleaning products, equipment, or other consumables
Major home repairs or renovations
Major landscaping or structural garden work
Utility bills (water, electricity, gas, internet)
Cleaning of shared areas in share houses (only your private spaces are covered)
Tasks not related to your disability
NDIS SUPPORT
How Household Tasks Funding Works in Your NDIS Plan
Household tasks are funded under the Core Supports budget in your NDIS plan, in the Assistance with Daily Life category. In the current NDIS Price Guide, the relevant line items are “House Cleaning and Other Household Activities” and “House or Yard Maintenance”.
This support is usually funded when a disability makes household tasks difficult to manage safely or independently. The hours included in your plan depend on your situation, your goals, and what the NDIA considers reasonable and necessary.
Beyond Limits Assistance works with self-managed, plan-managed, and NDIA-managed participants. We can talk through your plan and explain what’s available for household support before you commit to anything.
This is the most common source of confusion in this support area, so it’s worth being clear up front. You can read the full list of supports that aren’t NDIS supports on the NDIS website, or read more about how Core Supports work on the NDIS support budgets page.

Get Started
Need a Hand Keeping the Home Running?
Talk to Beyond Limits Assistance about household tasks support that fits your home, your routine, and your NDIS plan.
Whether you’re sorting this out for yourself, a family member, or someone you support, the first conversation is unhurried and obligation-free.
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often about household support, NDIS funding for cleaning and home help, and getting started.
Will the NDIS pay for a cleaner?
Yes, in most cases. The NDIS funds cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, shopping, and other household tasks when a disability makes these tasks difficult to manage safely or independently.
What the NDIS funds is the support worker’s time. You provide the cleaning products and any consumables. The exact hours and tasks covered depend on your plan and what the NDIA considers reasonable and necessary.
If you’re not sure whether household tasks are funded in your current plan, we can help you check.
What's not covered by NDIS household tasks funding?
The NDIS funds support work, not the cost of running a home. It does not cover:
Groceries or food costs
Cleaning products and consumables
Utility bills, rent, or mortgage
Major home repairs or renovations
Major landscaping or structural garden work
Cleaning of shared areas in share houses (only your own private spaces)
Tasks that aren’t connected to your disability
The official list of supports that aren’t NDIS supports is on the NDIS website.
Do I need to provide cleaning products and equipment?
Yes. The NDIS pays for the support worker’s time, but cleaning products and equipment are your responsibility. Most participants prefer it this way because it means the worker uses the products and tools you already trust.
If you’d like guidance on what to have on hand for the first visit, we can talk it through on the phone. Allergies, sensitivities, and preferred brands are easy to set up around.
How often can I have a support worker visit?
This depends on what your NDIS plan funds and what your home actually needs. Some participants book weekly visits, others fortnightly. Some only book ad-hoc support during recovery, flare-ups, or seasonal jobs like a deep clean.
We can run weekly, fortnightly, multiple visits per week, or one-off sessions. The right rhythm is the one that keeps your home liveable without using more plan funding than you need.
Can the support worker help with grocery shopping or errands?
Yes. Grocery shopping is included under household tasks. We can shop with you at the supermarket, taking the time you need and helping with selection, or shop on your behalf if you’d prefer.
The same applies to picking up prescriptions, returning items, or other practical errands tied to running your home. The NDIS funds the support worker’s time. You pay for the goods themselves.
Will the same support worker come each time?
Yes, wherever possible. We match you with a worker who fits your home and your way of doing things, and keep that worker assigned to your visits. The worker learns how you like your kitchen, your laundry, and your routines, and you don’t have to explain it again each week.
If a worker is sick or on leave, we’ll let you know in advance and offer a replacement, or reschedule if that suits better. You can request a different match at any time, with no awkwardness.
Do you provide household tasks support in my suburb?
We’re based in Alexander Heights and support participants across Perth’s Northern Suburbs, including Landsdale, Ballajura, Koondoola, Girrawheen, Marangaroo, Darch, Mirrabooka, Wanneroo, and Nollamara. We also take enquiries from nearby areas. If you’re unsure, give us a call and we’ll confirm coverage on the phone.
Make a referral if you’re a family member or support coordinator
The first conversation is free and unhurried. We talk through your home, your situation, your NDIS plan, and the kind of support that would help. We’ll only move ahead if it feels like the right fit on both sides.
