NDIS Home‑Care Supports in Rosebud

What is NDIS Home‑Care?

NDIS home‑care helps people with disability or complex needs to live at home. It includes help with daily tasks such as washing, dressing, meal prep and light cleaning. The supports are part of your NDIS plan and are paid by the NDIS.

Who is eligible for home‑care?

To qualify you must:

  • Be an NDIS participant with a plan that lists home‑care as a support goal.
  • Live in Rosebud or the surrounding area (Dromana, Rye, Mornington, Capel Sound, Sorrento).
  • Have a genuine need for assistance with daily living tasks.

What can be covered?

Home‑care supports can include:

  • Personal care – washing, dressing, toileting.
  • Domestic assistance – light cleaning, laundry, dish‑washing.
  • Meal preparation – cooking simple meals, meal planning.
  • Medication reminders.
  • Support for social participation – helping you attend local events.

All services must be consistent with the latest NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. This means the cost of each session is capped, ensuring fair rates for providers and participants.

Funding rules for home‑care

Home‑care is funded under the Core Supports budget in your plan. The amount you receive depends on:

  • The number of hours you need per week.
  • The type of service (personal care vs. domestic assistance).
  • Any additional support needs such as medication management.

When you book a provider, they will submit a claim to the NDIS. You will see the cost on your monthly statement, and the NDIS will pay the provider directly.
