Household Tasks: NDIS Support to Make Everyday Life Easier

Every home runs on small tasks—cleaning, cooking, laundry, shopping. But for many people with a disability, these household tasks can be challenging without the right support.

That’s where Desire Health comes in. Through the NDIS, we offer practical help with household activities so participants can enjoy a clean, safe, and comfortable home environment—while learning skills to live more independently.

What Are Household Tasks Under the NDIS?

Household Tasks is a funded support category under the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme). It includes assistance with essential daily activities that participants may find difficult due to their disability.

This support can be provided in the participant’s own home, shared accommodation, or supported living settings.

Examples of Household Tasks Support

At Desire Health, we customise services to meet individual needs. Here are common tasks we assist with:

✅ Cleaning

  • Vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping

  • Dusting surfaces and tidying rooms

  • Bathroom and kitchen cleaning

✅ Laundry

  • Washing and drying clothes

  • Folding and organising laundry

  • Changing bed linen

✅ Meal Preparation

  • Planning healthy meals

  • Cooking with or for the participant

  • Storing food safely

✅ Grocery Shopping

  • Writing shopping lists

  • Accompanying participants to the store

  • Helping with online orders

✅ Home Maintenance

  • Light gardening (watering, sweeping)

  • Decluttering and organising spaces

Benefits of Household Tasks Support

Having help with household activities doesn’t just improve cleanliness—it enhances wellbeing, confidence, and independence.

1. Promotes a Safe and Healthy Home

Clean environments reduce health risks and improve comfort.

2. Builds Daily Living Skills

We don’t just do tasks—we teach participants how to do them too.

3. Boosts Confidence and Autonomy

Being able to cook or clean independently is empowering.

4. Reduces Carer Stress

Families and informal carers can focus on quality time instead of chores.

5. Improves Mental Health

An organised space often leads to a clearer, calmer mind.

You may be eligible for Household Tasks support if you:

  • Are an approved NDIS participant

  • Have difficulty performing daily chores due to disability

  • Live alone or with others but need extra help
