NDIS Household Tasks Support in Adelaide

NDIS household tasks support in Adelaide is practical help with the jobs that keep your home clean, safe and liveable. Kindora Connect is a Registered NDIS Provider, and our support workers help with cleaning, laundry, changing the bed and other regular chores you find hard because of your disability.

You can ask us to do the task for you, do it with you, or teach you an easier way, depending on your goals.

What does NDIS household tasks support include?

Most people use household tasks support for the regular jobs that pile up. Support can include:

• vacuuming, mopping and wiping down kitchens and bathrooms
• washing, drying, folding and putting away clothes
• changing and washing bed linen
• washing dishes and tidying the kitchen after meals
• emptying bins and putting rubbish and recycling out
• keeping walkways clear so you can move around safely

Household tasks support covers regular cleaning of the home you live in. It does not include heavy or specialist jobs such as carpet steam-cleaning, pest control or cleaning up after renovations.

Who is household tasks support for?

This support suits people whose disability affects their energy, movement, balance or planning. For example:

• fatigue or pain means cleaning leaves you with nothing left for the rest of your day
• bending, reaching or carrying laundry is unsafe for you
• you have moved into your own place and want help setting up a cleaning routine
• your family has been doing your housework and you want to be less reliant on them

How is household tasks support funded under the NDIS?

Household tasks are usually funded from core supports, under assistance with daily life. The NDIS gives cleaning and yard maintenance as examples of what this category can pay a support worker to help with.

Your funding needs to be reasonable and necessary for your disability. If you have a building-skills goal, some of your support might also focus on learning to manage the housework yourself.

Whatever the mix, we agree the tasks, visit times and costs in a service agreement before support begins.

What does a typical household tasks visit look like?

A fortnightly visit might start with a quick look at your list for the day: bathroom, floors and a load of washing. Your worker gets started while you choose what to help with, and you finish by checking everything is where you like it.

If you are learning skills, the visit might instead focus on one job, like sorting laundry, done together until it feels easy.

How do we match support workers and keep your home safe?

Working in your home means respecting your space, your belongings and how you like things done. We ask about your preferences, pets, products you use or avoid, and any rooms you want left alone.

Our workers hold an NDIS Worker Screening Check and follow the NDIS Code of Conduct, which includes respecting your privacy and working safely with care and skill. They let you know about hazards they notice, such as a loose rail or a slippery floor.
