NDIS Assistance with Household Tasks
Assistance with household tasks is NDIS-funded help around the home: a support worker takes care of cleaning, laundry, meal preparation and light gardening when your disability makes those jobs hard or unsafe. Coast Transitional Support provides this support across Central Coast NSW.
Who Household Tasks Support Is For
This support is for NDIS Participants whose disability makes everyday housework difficult, tiring or unsafe. You might manage some tasks and not others, or find that the physical effort of cleaning leaves you with no energy for anything else.
The goal is not to take over your home. It is to keep it safe, clean and liveable so you can spend your energy on the things that matter to you.
What Is and Is Not Covered
The NDIS pays for the support worker's help, not your everyday living costs. Here is where the line sits.

Looking for Personal Domestic Assistance?
Some providers, planners and older NDIS paperwork call this support personal domestic assistance or simply domestic assistance. It is the same thing: help with cleaning, laundry, cooking and the day-to-day running of your home.
Whatever name appears in your plan, if it sits under Assistance with Daily Life in your Core Supports budget, this page covers it.
Household Tasks and Self-Care Activities Are Different
The simplest way to tell them apart: household tasks are about the home around you, self-care is about your body and personal routine. Cleaning, laundry and cooking sit here. Showering, dressing and medication prompts sit under Assistance with Self-Care Activities.
Because both are funded from the same category, many Participants combine them. A support worker might help with your morning routine, then do a load of washing and prepare lunch before leaving.
How Household Tasks Support Is Funded
Household tasks sit under Core Supports, in the Assistance with Daily Life category of your NDIS plan. Core funding is usually the most flexible part of a plan, so hours can often move between household tasks, self-care and other Core supports as your needs change.
As of September 2026, flexibility rules differ between older plans and newer PACE plans. Check what your specific plan allows before locking in a service agreement, or ask us and we will check with you.
How to Arrange Household Tasks Support
Start by checking the Core Supports section of your plan. If household tasks are not clearly funded, write down the jobs you cannot manage and raise them with your LAC or planner before your next review.
Most Participants arrange support through NDIS Support Coordination. Your coordinator finds the right workers, agrees on times and rates, puts the service agreement in place and keeps an eye on how things are going. Call us on 0412 223 789 and we can start that conversation.
