Your home should be a place where you feel safe, supported, and in control of your day.
When the day starts… your daily chores start piling up, and the stress quickly overshadows that sense of comfort. Being differently abled and managing all daily chores isn’t easy.
Family members support you, but for how long?? They have their own stuff to do!!
Depending on them isn’t a solution. To resolve this, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) introduced Household Supports. This service isn’t just a helping hand. It is a way to live your day with confidence.
It’s the small, everyday wins that add up to a life that brings you close to your goals.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through exactly what’s included under NDIS household support in NSW, what isn’t, and how the right provider can make home life not only easier… but empowering.
NDIS Household Support Simply Explained?
NDIS household support is a part of Assistance with Daily Living under Core Supports. Designed to make NDIS participants’ daily lives easier.
Service covers essential household tasks that may be difficult to manage alone, such as cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, and basic home organisation.
This support promotes a safe, hygienic environment and reduces the stress of doing chores alone. Also helps individuals to maintain their independence while living comfortably at home.
As an NDIS participant, this support service is no less than life-changing. You get assistance to keep your Space, your Home, neat and clean.
However, some things are supported and not supported in the NDIS household support service.
The next two sections answer them well.
What Household Support Includes Under NDIS?
NDIS Household Support in NSW, and Australia, helps participants manage essential tasks that ensure a safe and comfortable home. Common services include:
- Cleaning and Tidying –Vacuuming, mopping, dusting, kitchens, and bathrooms.
- Laundry Assistance – Washing, drying, folding, and ironing (if required).
- Meal Preparation – Safe food handling, chopping, and cooking support.
- Grocery Shopping – From making lists to carrying groceries home.
- Home Organisation – Arranging spaces for safety and accessibility.
- Bed Making & Linen Changing – Ensuring hygiene and comfort.
- Household Safety Support – Removing clutter and reducing fall risks.
As you see, after waking up, your everyday tasks will be supported by professional support workers. They ensure that your daily household tasks are completed promptly.

What Household Support Does Not Include?
To set the right expectation, it’s important to know what is not supported under the NDIS Household Support Task. These are the services outside the scope of daily living assistance:
- Paying for groceries, rent, or utility bills
- Luxury cleaning services (e.g., garden landscaping, pest control, carpet shampooing)
- Non-disability-related chores that participants can reasonably do themselves
- Renovations, maintenance, or repairs (plumbing, electrical, home upgrades)
- Non-essential services (e.g., cleaning a second home, car washing)
Knowing what is supported and not helps you set realistic expectations from NDIS support. But why does this difference exist? The next sections explain it well.
Why These Boundaries Exist?
The NDIS is built on the principle of providing “reasonable and necessary supports.”
In simple terms, this means funding goes towards services that help you live more independently and improve your daily life, not everyday costs that everyone pays.
For example, if you need help with cleaning because your disability makes it difficult, the NDIS may fund a support worker to assist. But it won’t cover your rent or electricity bills, because those are costs everyone has to manage, whether or not they have a disability.
By setting these boundaries, the scheme makes sure:
- Supports are directly linked to disability-related needs
- Funds are used fairly across all participants
- The NDIS remains sustainable for the future
NDIS makes sure that every dollar spent on participants’ needs must help them live life in their control. Like every other person!

Read the story of Josh, an NDIS participant from NSW. He started living more independently with our support on his side.
Case Study: Josh’s Journey To Independnece
Josh, a 20-year-old NDIS participant living with an intellectual disability, is struggling to do his everyday household tasks.

Through personalised household support, Josh learned to take part in small tasks, building confidence and independence. His family now enjoys balance, peace of mind, and precious moments together.
Here is what Josh says about our support…
“A support worker from True Belongings makes me feel independent and capable. Every time I finish a task with their support, I feel proud, happy, and more like myself.
And the best part…. their support worker doesn’t change every single day!”
