What is Domestic Assistance?

Domestic Assistance for Elderly Australians: Staying Independent at Home

For many older Australians, it's not a health crisis that forces a move out of home. It's the slow accumulation of household tasks that become harder to manage alone. The right domestic help changes that. A little regular support with cleaning, laundry and meals is often the single thing that lets someone remain living independently in their own home, for years longer.

Funded through Support at Home and aged care. If you’re an older Australian, domestic assistance is one of the most common supports funded under the Support at Home program. We help you understand your funding and put reliable, respectful home support in place, so independence at home stays the easy choice.

For families, it’s peace of mind: knowing a trusted professional is keeping Mum or Dad’s home safe, clean and comfortable, without the whole load falling on you.

Your Home, Your Routine, Your Standards

This is your home, and we treat it that way. We don’t impose a one-size-fits-all checklist. Our Professional Domestic Specialists work with you to understand how you like things done: which products you prefer, how you fold the laundry, where everything belongs. We maintain your home to your standards and your routine, preserving the sense of control and dignity that matters most when you’re receiving support.

Every service is tailored to your needs and delivered by trained specialists who treat your home with care and respect.

Vacuuming, dusting, mopping, bathroom and kitchen cleaning and general upkeep, for a fresh, clean and safe home.

Washing, drying, folding and ironing, plus regular bed-linen changes for a comfortable, hygienic home.

Meal planning, cooking and shopping that respects your dietary preferences and nutritional needs, because eating well is fundamental to staying well.

From collecting prescriptions to picking up essentials, we handle the errands so you keep your time and energy for living.

Organising living spaces and decluttering to create a safer, more functional and calmer home environment.

The small but essential jobs, including dishes, watering plants, light gardening and household chores, that keep daily life running smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions: Domestic Assistance

What's included in domestic assistance?

A wide range of household tasks: cleaning (vacuuming, dusting, mopping, bathrooms), laundry and ironing, meal preparation and planning, grocery shopping and errands, home organisation and decluttering, and other daily tasks. Every service is tailored to your needs, whether you’re an older Australian, an NDIS participant or a private client.

Is domestic assistance funded by aged care or the NDIS?

Both. For domestic assistance NDIS participants access, it’s funded under Core Supports (Assistance with Daily Life) where it supports your independence. For older Australians, it’s funded through the Support at Home program and CHSP. It’s also funded under TAC, WorkSafe and DVA, or available privately. We’ll help you understand your options.

How does domestic help keep me independent at home?

For many people, household tasks are the first thing that becomes hard to manage, and the main reason independence at home feels at risk. Regular support with cleaning, laundry and meals removes that pressure, so you can keep living safely and comfortably in your own home for longer.

Are your domestic specialists trained and qualified?

Yes. All our Professional Domestic Specialists are background-checked, reference-verified and trained in infection control and home organisation, not just basic cleaning. Many also hold qualifications in aged care, disability support or first aid.

Can I schedule support on a regular basis?

Yes, weekly, fortnightly or one-off. For aged care clients and NDIS participants needing ongoing support, we set up a consistent schedule for continuity and reliability.

Will the same person visit each time?

We always aim to assign the same specialist to build familiarity and trust. If your regular specialist is unavailable, we arrange a qualified replacement who meets the same standards and follows your preferences.

How do I get started?

Reach out by phone, email or online. We’ll arrange a consultation to understand your needs and preferences, help you access your funding if applicable, and arrange your first visit. Call 1300 668 655.
