NDIS Household Tasks

NDIS Household Tasks and Domestic Assistance in Sydney

Household Tasks is NDIS-funded support that helps people with disability manage cleaning, laundry and yard work they can’t safely or reasonably do on their own. It is funded as a specific support item under Assistance with Daily Life in your NDIS Core Supports budget, the same category as Assistance with Daily Personal Activities, but a different line item.

Mercy Life Care is a registered NDIS provider based in Toongabbie, and you can confirm our registration on the NDIS Commission provider registration listing. We support participants across Sydney and Western Sydney, including Parramatta, Blacktown and The Hills District.

Which NDIS support category covers household tasks?

Household Tasks sits within NDIS Core Supports, under Assistance with Daily Life. It funds a support worker’s time to help with everyday domestic tasks a participant can’t manage independently because of their disability. Household tasks are funded under support item 0120, and personal care under support item 0107. Both sit in Assistance with Daily Life.

This funds the support worker’s time, not the cost of cleaning products or groceries. It also doesn’t cover general home maintenance. Structural repairs, replacing appliances, painting and major landscaping are outside what the NDIS funds under this item.

If your needs are more about personal care, such as showering, dressing, mobility or medication, that is covered under Assistance with Daily Personal Activities instead.

If your plan is self-managed or plan-managed, you can choose any provider. If it is NDIA-managed, you need a registered provider like us.

What's Included in Household Tasks Support

  • Cleaning and general tidying
  • Laundry and linen changes
  • Basic yard and garden upkeep
  • Meal-related tasks (see our dedicated Meal Preparation support)
  • Organising and maintaining a safe, accessible living space

Why Does Household Tasks Support Matter?

A safe, clean home reduces the risk of falls and illness, and takes pressure off family members who might otherwise do this unpaid. For many participants, this support makes it realistic to stay in their own home for longer.
