What is NDIS Home Care?

NDIS home care is a range of services that help people with disability live independently in their own homes. The support can cover personal care, household tasks, meal preparation, and help with daily activities.

Who Can Get Home Care?

To qualify you must:

• Be an NDIS participant with a plan that includes home‑care supports.
• Live in Wyndham, Werribee, Point Cook, Tarneit or Hoppers Crossing.
• Show that you need help to maintain your independence.

What Is Included?

Home‑care supports are split into two categories:

• Personal Care – assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting and medication reminders.
• Domestic Tasks – help with cleaning, laundry, shopping and meal prep.

Each activity is priced separately under the NDIS Pricing Arrangements. The amount you can claim depends on the activity type and the hourly rate set by the NDIS. The latest price limits are published by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) and are reviewed annually.

How Much Can You Claim?

Funding is calculated from the hourly rate in the Pricing Arrangements. The price limit for a typical home‑care activity is capped at the maximum rate for that activity. If you need more than the maximum hours in a year, you must apply for a higher funding level or a different plan type.

2. Find a provider. Search the NDIS provider register or ask your planner for recommendations.
