Q: How do I know if my NDIS plan covers home care?

NDIS home care supports help people with disabilities live independently in their own homes. In Wyndham – which includes Werribee, Point Cook, Tarneit and Hoppers Crossing – you can access a range of services that fit the specific needs of you or your loved one.

What is NDIS Home Care?

Home care is part of the NDIS plan that covers assistance with daily tasks. It can be split into two main categories:

Personal care – help with washing, dressing, eating and other personal hygiene tasks.
Domestic tasks – help with cleaning, laundry, cooking and general household chores.

Home care can be provided by a registered NDIS provider or by a support worker who has been approved by the National Disability Insurance Agency.

Who is eligible for home care?

Eligibility is determined by the NDIS when you receive a plan. To qualify for home care you must:

Have a permanent or long‑term disability that affects your ability to perform daily tasks.
Have an NDIS plan that includes a “Support Coordination” or “Self‑management” budget for home‑based services.
Live in a location that the provider can reach – Wyndham is well served by many local providers.

Only the services that are listed in your plan can be funded. If you need additional help, you must discuss it with your planner or support coordinator.

What services can be funded?

The NDIS Pricing Arrangements set out the maximum price that can be charged for each activity. The latest arrangements are published annually and apply to all providers. They do not set a fixed cost – instead, they provide a price range for each activity, such as:

Half‑day cleaning service

Providers must stay within these limits. You can choose a provider that offers a bundle of services that best meets your needs.
