NDIS House Cleaning Rates (Updated: 2024)

Keeping your home clean, tidy and to a high-standard may be a difficult task for those who have disability, chronic illness or health challenges that inhibit mobility.

At Absolute Domestics, we understand the obstacles that many face in their daily lives.

We have therefore become NDIS Health Providers in an effort to enable all Australians to have a clean and tidy house to live in.

There are many rules and regulations that come with NDIS cleaning, and this guide will take you through the most recent updates and pricing available:

NDIS house cleaning rates

Home cleaning comes under the ‘Assistance with Daily Life’ Support Category in ‘Core’ purpose.

You must have funds in your plan under Core in order to be able to pay your cleaner.

These cleaning rates are set by NDIS to provide NDIS recipients with the relevant pricing for the appropriate support item.

How much do NDIS cleaning services cost?

The cost of NDIS cleaning services is down to the type of support you receive from NDIS itself, rather than the NDIS Provider.

At Absolute Domestics, we charge based on the support item you or those you care for have in your plan.

Is equipment included for an NDIS clean?

Here at Absolute Domestics, we use your equipment and products so you know exactly what products are being used to clean your home.

This ensures that you have peace of mind when it comes to the chemicals used in your household, making it a safer and more familiar environment.

Who can use NDIS funding for a cleaner?

Using NDIS funding for house cleaning and other personal domestic activities comes down to whether your support plan has the right funding for it.

If you have support placed in the ‘Core’ purpose under the support category of ‘Assistance with Daily Life’ you will be able to use your NDIS funding for cleaning services.

Navigating your NDIS plan can be challenging at times, and working out whether you have funding for specific activities can take time and effort.

It is always recommended to get in touch with NDIS support services if you are experiencing difficulties in understanding how your budget can be allocated.

How does payment work for an NDIS cleaning service?

NDIS pricing arrangements usually varies from company to company, however, the hourly rate for house cleaning and other personal domestic activities is usually around the $50 mark.

This is for metropolitan and national areas, with remote areas increasing slightly in price.

For remote, it is around $70 and extremely remote leaning towards $76.

Payment for an NDIS cleaning service cannot be paid in advance with an NDIS plan, instead, an invoice must be sent to NDIS for reimbursement.

This payment process ensures that cleaning services are deemed essential and fulfil all the requirements necessary for NDIS support.
