NDIS Home‑Care Supports in Rosebud

What is NDIS Home‑Care?

NDIS home‑care supports help people with disability do everyday tasks at home. They are part of an NDIS plan and can cover a range of activities such as personal care, meal preparation, cleaning, and house maintenance.

Who can use these supports?

Only people who have an NDIS plan can access home‑care supports. You must:

  • be a registered participant of the NDIS
  • have a plan that lists home‑care as a support category
  • meet the eligibility criteria set by the NDIS, such as having a permanent disability that impacts daily life

What does the plan include?

Your plan will state the number of hours you are entitled to each month. These hours can be used for:

  • Personal care (e.g., dressing, bathing, toileting)
  • Domestic tasks (e.g., laundry, cleaning, dishwashing)
  • Household maintenance (e.g., gardening, light repairs)
  • Meal preparation and feeding assistance

All costs must be within the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. The NDIS sets a maximum price you can pay for each support type. You do not pay more than this limit.
