Understanding your funding
The NDIS may fund household assistance for eligible participants when their disability affects their ability to manage everyday domestic activities.
Household tasks are generally funded under Core Supports – Assistance with Daily Life, depending on individual plan arrangements and funding requirements.

If you are unsure about your funding, speak with your plan manager, support coordinator or the NDIA. You can also contact Deep Connections Community Services to discuss your household support requirements.
