Independent worker option

Independent workers for household tasks

These workers report domestic assistance. They can be considered by self-managed and plan-managed participants who want to engage a worker directly rather than use an organisation's roster.

View all workers

Funding check: independent workers can be engaged directly by self-managed and plan-managed participants. Agency-managed participants need an NDIS registered provider. Worker checks and credentials on Carevo are self-reported unless a profile says otherwise.

Showing 6 relevant worker profiles, 6 reporting checks or credentials. Profiles are ordered by substance and recency, not payment.

Families never pay Carevo. Providers pay a subscription to connect with families, with no commission or paid ranking. How Carevo works

How this provider list is built

Counts include distinct active organisations marked NDIS registered with the relevant registration group and an active location listing. Organisations operating in several states are counted once nationally. Confirm the current registration and support types on the NDIS Commission register before referring.

The national shortlist uses primary listings, ordered by recorded Carevo connections, then name. Providers who have declined all related service types are omitted from the shortlist. A claim records an intention to contact someone, not completed support or care quality. Payment, featured status and purchased placement do not determine this order.

Receiving Carevo enquiries means a contact is set up to receive requests from Carevo and has signed in recently. Not confirmed means we cannot tell either way, usually because nobody has signed in recently; it is not a negative mark. Neither confirms vacancies or capacity. Providers confirm availability, suitability and prices directly.

Can you hire an independent worker?

It depends on how the NDIS plan is managed.

Self-managed: Yes; You agree the rate directly, within the funding rules and your budget.
Plan-managed: Yes; At or under the applicable price limits.
NDIA-managed: No; Registered providers only.

Registration rules and sources

Some supports require registration whatever the plan type, including specialist behaviour support and plan management. Check current SIL registration and transition requirements before arranging SIL.

A worker's professional registration, NDIS provider registration and a profile on Carevo are three different things. A Carevo listing establishes neither kind of registration.

NDIS disability support and clinical mental-health treatment have different funding pathways (NDIA therapy guidance).

Confirm the rules for the specific support before booking. Sources: NDIA self-management, NDIS Commission registration rules.

How to check a provider's credentials

Carevo shows register-sourced status fields and links you to the official Australian registers so you can confirm the current entry before referring a participant. Here is what each listing shows and where to verify it.

NDIS registration

Listings show whether a provider reports being NDIS registered. You can confirm a provider's current registration and approved support types yourself on the NDIS Commission's public provider register.

Source: NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission

Aged care approval

The aged care approval label is sourced from the Australian Government's My Aged Care provider register. Confirm the current entry and the services listed there before choosing a provider.

Source: My Aged Care (Department of Health and Aged Care)

ABN you can check

Most listings include the provider's Australian Business Number, shown on the profile. You can look it up on the Australian Business Register to confirm the business is registered and active.

Source: Australian Business Register

Complaints process

If you or a participant has a concern, the NDIS Commission handles complaints about NDIS providers and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission handles aged care complaints. We also accept complaints via our own channel.

About Household Tasks

Household Tasks covers assistance with domestic activities the participant cannot do themselves due to their disability. This includes house cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, lawn mowing, and basic home maintenance. Funded under Core Supports, these services maintain a safe and liveable home environment.

With 19,102 providers across all states and territories, household tasks is listed here by registration-group match. Directory presence does not confirm local capacity, suitability or availability.

Household Tasks Pricing

Examples from NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27, effective 2026-07-01. These are the published national amounts; remote and very remote amounts can differ. Confirm the applicable funding rules before booking.

Line Item	Description	Price Limit
01_019_0120_1_1	House or Yard Maintenance	$59.01 per hour
01_020_0120_1_1	House Cleaning And Other Household Activities	$60.10 per hour

These are examples of support items, not a quote or confirmation of eligibility. Confirm the item matches the actual task and the participant's funding before arranging support. Different time-of-week rates apply only where the schedule specifies them.

What Household Tasks Covers

The Household Tasks registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.

House Cleaning

Vacuuming, mopping, dusting, bathroom cleaning, kitchen cleaning. Funded where the participant cannot do these tasks due to their disability.

Laundry

Washing, drying, folding, ironing. Often combined with cleaning visits.

Lawn Mowing and Gardening

Basic lawn maintenance, garden upkeep, and yard tidying. Does not include major landscaping or garden renovation.

Meal Preparation

Preparing meals for the participant when they cannot cook independently. Different from teaching cooking skills (which falls under Capacity Building).

Common Referral Scenarios

Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for household tasks.

A participant living alone has limited household task funding in their plan. Help them prioritise which tasks to outsource (typically cleaning and lawn care) and which they can manage or learn to do themselves.

A participant's household task provider is inconsistent and unreliable. Switch to a provider with stronger quality assurance and worker consistency.

What to Expect After Referral

Household task providers usually send the same worker on a regular schedule (weekly or fortnightly). Services are straightforward and typically require minimal coordination once set up. The main thing to monitor is whether the service is actually being delivered to a reasonable standard.

Red Flags to Watch For

Warning signs that a household tasks provider may not be delivering quality services.

Workers spending less time than billed

Quality of cleaning consistently poor

Provider sending different workers each visit without notice

Billing for tasks not completed

Household Tasks is often combined with Daily Personal Activities (same worker, same visit), and connects with Daily Living Skills development (transitioning from having tasks done to learning to do them independently).

What to Include in the Household Tasks Referral

Include these details with the participant's consent so providers and workers can assess fit before contacting them.

Exact household tasks, property type and expected visit duration
Preferred schedule, start date and whether equipment or products are supplied
Plan-management type, available budget and relevant line items
Access instructions, pets, allergies, mobility needs and shared-home responsibilities

How to Refer a Participant for Household Tasks

Step 1

Check plan funding in Category 1

Step 2

Check funding management and registration requirements

Step 3

Compare suitable providers and independent workers

Step 4

Set up service agreement with line items

Step 5

Monitor delivery and document outcomes

Referral Tips for Household Tasks

Household task funding is often limited in plans. Help participants prioritise which tasks to outsource vs build skills for. Check whether a combined personal care and household task provider would be more efficient than separate referrals. For participants living in shared housing, clarify which household tasks are the participant's responsibility vs the SIL provider's.

Frequently Asked Questions

What household tasks does the NDIS fund in Australia?

The NDIS funds household tasks that the participant cannot do because of their disability. This includes cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, gardening, and basic home maintenance. The standard rate is $61.16 per hour under the 2026-27 NDIS Pricing Schedule.

Can I refer an NDIA-managed participant to an unregistered provider?

How do I check if a provider is NDIS registered?

Check the NDIS Provider Register at provider.ndis.gov.au. Search by provider name or ABN. Providers listed on Carevo display their registration status on their profile.

What information should I include when making a referral?

Include the participant's name (with consent), NDIS plan number, relevant line items, budget available, service frequency, specific requirements (cultural, language, gender preference), and your contact details.
