How we rank providers

Rankings in Australia are based on real outcomes between providers and families on our platform. They are recalculated daily and cannot be purchased or influenced by advertising.

  • How this list is built. Providers shown here are registered with the NDIS for Household tasks, or offer domestic help and cleaning.
  • Outcomes with families. We measure what happens after a family contacts a provider. Providers where families report positive outcomes rank higher. Multiple signals are weighted across a rolling window.
  • Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
  • Registration and compliance. NDIS registered and government-approved aged care providers are weighted for meeting quality and safeguards standards.
  • Local presence. Providers confirmed in Australia rank above those covering only the broader region.

What "Trusted" means. The Trusted badge is awarded to providers with a consistent record of positive outcomes with families on our platform. It is based on multiple behavioural signals and family feedback, and it cannot be purchased.

How much does domestic assistance cost in Australia?

Domestic Assistance in Australia typically costs $45-$65/hour (subsidised rates for eligible clients). Actual rates vary by provider, funding type, and the level of support required.

How to pay for domestic assistance

Funding options include Support at Home. Eligibility depends on your assessment and plan.

Maintaining a home and managing daily life involves dozens of tasks. When these tasks become physically challenging or overwhelming, it can threaten your sense of independence. You’re not just looking for a cleaner; you’re looking for a trusted partner to help you manage your home and life with dignity and peace of mind.

Carevo connects you with registered domestic assistance providers across Australia who can help with shopping, meal prep, and household management. Ask each provider about their screening, checks, insurance and qualifications so you can find reliable home support with confidence.

Domestic Assistance providers through Carevo in Australia are designed to do just that. Find reliable, respectful support that is tailored to your specific needs, helping you live safely and comfortably in the home you love.

When You Need More Than Just a Cleaning Service

Are you or a family member struggling with the day-to-day demands of running a household?

  • Is grocery shopping becoming a difficult or tiring weekly chore?
  • Are you worried about keeping up with laundry, mail, and general home organisation?
  • Do you need a hand with meal planning and cooking to maintain a healthy diet?
  • Are you looking for a single, trusted provider who can help with a variety of household tasks, not just one?

Professional providers offer a holistic service that lightens your load and supports your independence.

Why Australia Families Choose Providers Through Carevo

Inviting someone into your home requires trust. Providers available through Carevo offer:

Consistent Support Workers: The same reliable person who learns your routine and preferences, not a different worker every week.

Comprehensive Screening: Ask each provider about their support workers’ NDIS Worker Screening Checks, police checks, and insurance cover.

Flexible Service: You decide which tasks matter most each visit, whether it’s more meal prep this week or extra laundry next week.

Funding Expertise: Providers understand NDIS Core Supports and Support at Home claiming so you get the support you’re entitled to.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a standard cleaning service? A standard cleaning service typically performs a deep clean. Domestic Assistance services are broader, ongoing support services focused on helping you manage your daily life. While they include light housekeeping to keep your home safe and tidy, they also cover vital tasks like shopping, cooking, and laundry to support your overall independence.

Is this service covered by my Support at Home or NDIS plan? Yes. Under Support at Home, domestic assistance is funded as part of everyday living services. For the NDIS, these services typically fall under Core Supports - Assistance with Daily Life. Providers are experts at helping you match their services to your funding.

Can I change the tasks my support worker does each visit? Absolutely. These services are designed to be flexible. You can work with your support worker to prioritise what you need done each visit, whether it’s more help with meals one week or catching up on laundry the next.
