Household Support in Western Sydney

NDIS Household
Support in Western Sydney — 2026

For many people with disability, maintaining a safe and clean home is
genuinely difficult — not a matter of motivation or preference, but a
direct result of their disability. NDIS household support exists to
bridge that gap.

SADC Disability Services provides NDIS household support across
Greater Western Sydney, including Parramatta, Liverpool, Fairfield,
Campbelltown, and Penrith.

What Is NDIS Household
Support?

Household support (formally “Assistance with Daily Life — Household
Tasks”) is funded in your Core Supports budget. It covers the domestic
tasks that your disability prevents you from managing independently.

Standard household support includes:

Cleaning – Vacuuming carpets and mopping hard floors
– Bathroom cleaning (toilet, shower, basin) – Kitchen cleaning
(benchtops, stovetop, sink) – Dusting and surface wiping – Window
cleaning (interior, accessible)

Laundry – Washing and drying clothes and linen –
Folding and sorting – Ironing (where required) – Bed changing

Home Organisation – Tidying living areas –
Organising cupboards and storage – Rubbish removal and recycling
management – Seasonal decluttering assistance

Kitchen and Pantry – Grocery unpacking – Pantry and
fridge organisation – Dishwashing (where participant is unable to use
dishwasher)

Home Safety – Identifying trip hazards – Clearing
pathways for mobility aids – Ensuring kitchen and bathroom safety

What NDIS Household Support
Is NOT

The NDIS funds household support because of
disability — not as a general cleaning service. The NDIA
expects: – Supports are reasonable and necessary given your disability –
You can demonstrate that household tasks are beyond your capacity –
Supports are not replacing tasks you can do independently (even
slowly)

An Occupational Therapist report that documents your functional
limitations and specific tasks you cannot perform independently is the
strongest evidence for household support funding.

Who Needs Household Support?

SADC provides household support for participants with: – Physical
disability or chronic pain limiting mobility and strength – Fatigue
conditions (MS, ME/CFS, cancer-related fatigue) – Mental health
conditions (depression, anxiety, OCD) – Intellectual disability –
Acquired Brain Injury – Progressive neurological conditions

Household support is often combined with personal care support — SADC
workers can do both in the same visit.

2026: Household Support Pricing

Household support is billed at the standard Assistance with Daily
Life weekday rate. Weekend rates are higher. Under 2025–26 NDIS Pricing
Arrangements, the NDIA has maintained competitive rates for domestic
assistance.

Important: The NDIA does not fund garden
maintenance, exterior home maintenance, or home modifications under
household support. These have separate funding pathways.
