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.

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