Frequently Asked Questions

Can NDIS fund someone to clean my house?

Yes. If your disability prevents you from performing household tasks safely, your NDIS plan may fund domestic assistance through registration group 0120 (Household Tasks).

Does Gentle Grid do grocery shopping for NDIS participants in Ballarat?

Yes. We can accompany you to the shops or shop on your behalf, as well as help with meal planning, food preparation, and kitchen organisation.

Can NDIS household task funding cover meal preparation in Ballarat?

Yes. NDIS household task funding can cover meal preparation and cooking assistance when your disability makes it difficult or unsafe to cook independently. A Gentle Grid support worker can help you plan meals, shop for groceries, prepare food, and clean up afterward. This is funded under Core Supports, Assistance with Daily Life.

How many hours of household support can I get through the NDIS?

The hours of household support in your NDIS plan depend on your disability, living situation, and what you can reasonably manage independently. There is no fixed limit. Plans are individualised, and if your current plan does not include enough hours, an occupational therapist can provide a report to support a plan review request.

Does Gentle Grid bring cleaning supplies, or should I provide them?

Gentle Grid support workers in Ballarat typically use the cleaning products and equipment you have at home. This helps ensure we use products you are comfortable with. If you need help sourcing appropriate supplies, we can include this as part of a grocery or errand run within your support session.

NDIS Household Tasks Support in Ballarat: Keeping Your Home Safe and Comfortable

How Household Tasks Are Funded in Your NDIS Plan

NDIS household task assistance is funded under Support Category 1 — Assistance with Daily Life (Registration Group 0120: Household Tasks). This line item covers tasks that a participant is unable to do for themselves due to their disability, and that are not reasonably expected to be performed by household members.

The NDIS funds household support based on functional need, not the type of disability. If your plan goals include maintaining your home independently or safely, and your plan includes Category 1 funding, household task support may be available to you — depending on your individual plan allocation.

Gentle Grid can work with NDIA-managed, plan-managed and self-managed participants across Ballarat. Contact our team or your support coordinator to check whether household tasks are covered in your current plan.

Household Tasks We Can Assist With

General House Cleaning

Vacuuming, mopping, dusting, bathroom and kitchen cleaning — maintaining a hygienic and safe home environment.

Laundry & Ironing

Washing, drying, folding and putting away clothing and linen, with or without support for the participant to participate where they wish.

Meal Preparation

Preparing and cooking nutritious meals to suit dietary needs and preferences, including support for participants learning to cook.

Shopping Assistance

Accompanying participants to the shops or assisting with online grocery ordering to ensure pantry and household supplies are maintained.

Yard & Garden Maintenance

Basic garden upkeep and outdoor maintenance that contributes to home safety and accessibility, subject to plan funding inclusions.

Home Organisation

Decluttering, organising living spaces, and ensuring the home is set up in a way that supports the participant’s safety and independence.

An Important Note on NDIS Household Task Funding

The NDIS does not fund general domestic cleaning for everyone with a disability. Household tasks must be directly linked to your disability and your plan goals. Your NDIS planner assesses whether you have functional capacity limitations that prevent you from performing tasks, and whether these tasks are not already covered by informal supports. Gentle Grid recommends speaking with your support coordinator before engaging household task supports to confirm they are included in your plan under the correct line items.

What is NDIS Household Tasks Support?

NDIS Household Tasks (registration group 0120 — Assistance with Daily Life) provides funding for practical assistance with the essential chores and maintenance required to keep a home running. This support is for participants who are unable to perform these tasks themselves due to their disability and who do not have a family member or informal carer available to assist.

A clean, organised, and functioning home is not a luxury — it is essential for health, safety, and wellbeing. NDIS Household Tasks funding ensures that participants can live comfortably and safely in their own homes regardless of their ability to manage domestic work independently.

Household Tasks We Provide

How Household Task Support Works

Household tasks support is typically provided by a trained support worker who visits the participant’s home on a regular schedule — weekly, fortnightly, or as required. The schedule and specific tasks are agreed upon in a service agreement that reflects the participant’s priorities and preferences.

At Gentle Grid, we understand that everyone has their own way of doing things at home. We respect how you like your home run and work to your preferences, not ours. Workers can be directed by the participant as to what to do, in what order, and how.

Household tasks support is distinct from personal care. If you need assistance with both housekeeping and personal care, these are funded under different line items in your NDIS plan. Gentle Grid can deliver both under a single service agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions — Household Tasks in Ballarat

Can NDIS household tasks funding be used for garden maintenance?
Yes — basic garden maintenance (lawn mowing, weeding) is generally funded under household tasks when the participant is unable to manage it themselves due to their disability. However, extensive landscaping or garden improvements are typically not funded.
Can I use household tasks funding to pay a cleaner of my own choosing?
If you are self-managed, you can engage any provider you choose. If you are agency or plan managed, the provider needs to be registered. Gentle Grid is a registered provider and can deliver these supports in line with your plan management type.
My informal carer is struggling to keep up with housework — can NDIS help?
Yes. NDIS funding can supplement what family members or carers do, providing relief and ensuring the home is maintained to a good standard without burning out informal carers. This is an important and legitimate use of household tasks funding.
How much household tasks support can I get funded in my NDIS plan?
The amount varies depending on your individual circumstances and how the NDIA assesses your needs. Typically, participants receive enough hours to cover essential weekly tasks. Your Support Coordinator or Gentle Grid can help you request appropriate hours at your plan review.
