NDIS Home‑Care Supports in Wyndham

NDIS home‑care supports help people with a disability to live independently in their own home or in a community setting. In Wyndham – covering Werribee, Point Cook, Tarneit and Hoppers Crossing – the services are designed to meet the specific needs of each participant.

Who is eligible for home‑care supports?

To be eligible you must:

  • Be a registered NDIS participant.
  • Have a disability that affects daily living or mobility.
  • Show that you need assistance to carry out daily tasks (e.g. personal care, meal preparation, medication management).

Eligibility is confirmed during your NDIS plan meeting with a planner or support coordinator.

What is included in the home‑care package?

The plan will specify the number of hours you receive each week and the type of assistance:

  • Personal care – bathing, dressing, toileting.
  • Domestic tasks – cleaning, laundry, cooking.
  • Medication management.
  • Assistive technology setup (e.g. remote controls for appliances).

All costs are capped by the latest NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. The price you pay is the difference between the cost of the service and the price limit. If the service cost is below the limit you pay nothing.
