Household Tasks & Domestic Assistance
PowerCare provides household tasks and domestic assistance in Sydney — cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, shopping and the ordinary maintenance of keeping a home running.
What this support is
Household tasks is help keeping a home running: cleaning, laundry, changing the bed, washing up, meal preparation, shopping, taking the bins out, and the endless small maintenance of living somewhere.
PowerCare holds NDIS registration group 120 (Household Tasks).
Why it is not a small thing
For a lot of households, this is the support that decides whether everything else holds together. When a family member is doing full-time care, the housework is the thing that gets done at 11pm or does not get done at all.
Household support is funded because a clean, functioning home is not a luxury — it is a health outcome, especially where there are wounds, feeds, catheters or infection risks in the house.
What this funding covers — and what it doesn’t
Household tasks are funded from the Core supports budget of an NDIS plan, under registration group 120. The support covers the routine domestic activities a participant cannot do because of their disability:
- Cleaning — floors, bathrooms, kitchen, dusting, general tidying
- Laundry — washing, drying, folding, changing linen
- Meal preparation — planning, cooking and safe food handling, including preparation that suits a modified-texture or dysphagia diet
- Shopping and errands — groceries and household essentials, in person or online
- Everyday upkeep — dishes, bins, and the small maintenance of a home
It does not cover tasks that are for other members of the household rather than the participant, one-off deep cleans unrelated to disability, or home modifications and repairs (those are Capital supports — see our guide on how NDIS funding works). If you are not sure whether your plan funds this, bring it to the call and we will read it with you.
How it works alongside everything else
Household tasks are usually delivered inside the same shifts as personal care or community support, by the same workers, so the household is not paying three providers to visit the same kitchen.
Where a participant can do part of a task themselves, they do — support is with the task, not instead of the person. Where they cannot, the worker does it.
In homes where there are wounds, feeds, catheters or infection risks, the same team that keeps the home clean can be the team delivering the high-intensity clinical supports — so hygiene and clinical safety are handled together, not by strangers passing in the hallway.
Who it’s for
Participants with household tasks funding in their NDIS plan, including participants who live alone, live with family, or live in a shared home.
