Does the NDIS Fund Cleaning Services?

Yes. The NDIS does fund cleaning services — but it depends on your plan and what kind of support you’ve been approved for. It’s not just a blanket “yes.” There are rules. There are conditions. But for many people, the answer is yes, and it can make a huge difference.

Let’s break it down.

What Kind of Cleaning Is Covered?

The NDIS funds cleaning services under the “Assistance with Daily Living” category. This covers help around the home — the kind of stuff that keeps things clean, safe, and functional if you’re not able to manage it yourself because of your disability.

We’re talking:

• General house cleaning (dusting, vacuuming, mopping)
  
• Disinfecting kitchens and bathrooms
  
• Carpet cleaning
  
• Trash removal
  
• Sometimes even outdoor stuff like lawn mowing or pressure cleaning
  

What’s not covered? Anything that falls under home repairs or trades. So, don’t expect plumbing, electrical fixes, or repainting walls to be funded under your cleaning support. That’s a different ballgame.

Do You Need to Use a Registered NDIS Provider?

That depends on how your plan is managed.

• NDIA-managed? You have to use a registered provider like us — NDIS Cleaning Corp.
  
• Self-managed or plan-managed? You can choose whoever you like, but going with a registered provider helps avoid headaches — especially if your plan manager needs proper invoices and compliance checks.
  

We’re registered, by the way. That means we’ve gone through the process to meet NDIS quality and safety standards. That’s not just a badge — it’s accountability.

How Do You Actually Get Cleaning Approved?

It needs to be written into your plan. If you don’t have it yet, talk to your support coordinator or planner. You’ll need to show that cleaning support is “reasonable and necessary” for you to live safely and comfortably.

The NDIS won’t just hand it out because it’s convenient. You’ve got to explain why you can’t clean safely on your own and how it affects your day-to-day living.

That could include:

• Physical limitations that prevent you from bending, lifting, or using cleaning products safely
  
• Mental health reasons that make cleaning overwhelming or impossible to manage
  
• Situations where poor hygiene could lead to illness or injury
  

Once it’s approved, you can start using it — and booking services like ours is super simple.

How Much Is Covered?

NDIS sets price limits based on their support catalogue. That means every cleaning service must fall within a certain hourly rate. We follow this pricing model, so there are no surprises. Your plan manager will see everything is compliant.

Some services (like vacate cleaning or deep carpet cleaning) might require extra hours, but as long as it’s within your approved support budget, it’s allowed.

Final Thought — Get Support That Makes Sense

Too many people don’t know that cleaning can be part of their plan. Or they think they can’t ask for it. That’s not true.

If cleaning your home is something you can’t do safely — and it’s affecting your independence or health — then it’s worth asking for it to be included.

At NDIS Cleaning Corp, this is what we do. Every day. We know the system. We work with plan managers, support coordinators, and families all the time to get cleaning services set up the right way.

We’re not here to sell you a dream. We’re here to help you live better. Clean space. Less stress.
