Home‑Care Supports in Rosebud – What You Need to Know

Home‑care supports help people with disabilities live safely and comfortably in their own homes. In Rosebud, you can access a range of services that suit your needs. This guide explains who can get support, what is covered, how funding works and how to book a provider.

Who is Eligible for NDIS Home‑Care Supports?

To qualify for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), you must:

  • Be an Australian citizen or hold a valid visa that allows you to stay permanently.
  • Be under 65 years old.
  • Have a permanent or long‑term disability that affects your daily life.
  • Live in Australia and have an NDIS plan that includes home‑care supports.

Eligibility is assessed by the NDIS. If you think you may qualify, book an NDIS pre‑assessment with the NDIS or a local support coordinator.

What Home‑Care Supports Are Included?

Home‑care supports are split into three categories:

1. Personal Care

Assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting and feeding.

2. Domestic Assistance

Help with cooking, cleaning, laundry and general household chores.

3. Support for Daily Living

Assistance with medication management, transport to appointments and community participation.

All services must be agreed in your NDIS plan and funded under the Support Coordination or Service Delivery categories.

How Funding Works – Pricing Arrangements & Price Limits

The NDIS sets a Pricing Arrangements framework that limits how much each service can cost. The latest framework is published annually, so prices may change each year. The NDIS does not publish exact rates in public documents, but you can request the Price Limits list from your support coordinator or provider.

When you book a service, the provider will:

  • Check that the service is within the price limit for your plan.
  • Provide a written quote that shows the cost per hour and total cost for the service.
  • Submit the claim to the NDIS for payment.

Booking a Home‑Care Provider in Rosebud

  1. Check Your Plan. Look at your NDIS plan to see how many support hours you have for home‑care.
  2. Find a Provider. Search the NDIS‑approved home‑cleaning services in Mornington for providers that also offer personal care. You can also ask the NDIS for a list of local providers in Rosebud.
  3. Get a Quote. Ask the provider for a written quote that includes the service type, hourly rate and total cost.
  4. Confirm the Provider. Once you agree, sign a service agreement. The provider will submit the claim to the NDIS.
  5. Track Your Support. Use the NDIS portal or your support coordinator to monitor hours used and remaining budget.

FAQs – Common Questions About Home‑Care in Rosebud

What is the difference between personal care and domestic assistance?
Personal care covers activities that affect your health and wellbeing, such as bathing and medication. Domestic assistance includes household chores like cleaning and laundry.
Can I combine home‑care with other NDIS supports?
Yes. Your plan can include multiple support types, such as therapy or transport, as long as they are approved by the NDIS.
How do I know if a provider is NDIS‑approved?
Check the NDIS Provider Register or ask the provider to show their NDIS approval certificate.
What happens if I run out of support hours?
You can request a plan review to increase your budget or adjust your supports. A support coordinator can help you with this process.

NDIS only pays providers directly. If you pay cash, you will need to keep receipts and submit them for reimbursement, which is not common practice.
