What is domestic assistance and who is it for?
Domestic assistance is practical, in-home help with housework, laundry, shopping and meal preparation for people who cannot manage these tasks alone because of disability, illness or age-related frailty. Under the NDIS it sits within Core Supports - Assistance with Daily Life (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26); older Australians access the same kind of help through Support at Home or the Commonwealth Home Support Programme.
How to choose a provider for domestic assistance
Use the ranking methodology explained above to shortlist candidates, then check these before you commit.
Registration. Confirm NDIS registration status for NDIS-funded support, or Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission registration for Support at Home and CHSP funded services.
Response time. A provider that takes days to reply to an inquiry usually means a slower start date for services. Across Carevo, 93 per cent of provider inquiries get a response within 24 hours.
Pricing transparency. Ask for an hourly rate in writing, including travel time and any minimum booking length, before you agree to a start date.
Coverage. Confirm the provider actually services your suburb on the days and times you need, not just the wider region it lists.
Which funding pays for domestic assistance and who qualifies?
NDIS participants fund domestic assistance under Core Supports - Assistance with Daily Life when it is reasonable and necessary for their disability (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26). Older Australians access it as an everyday living service through Support at Home, or as entry-level, short-term help through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme, both administered by the Department of Health and Aged Care (2025). Aged care access starts with a My Aged Care assessment through the Single Assessment System, which determines whether you receive CHSP or a Support at Home classification.
Availability
Carevo lists 28,038 providers across 4,782 suburbs nationally, including domestic assistance specialists funded through the NDIS, Support at Home and CHSP. Many families pair domestic assistance with personal care or a dedicated house cleaning provider when household needs go beyond one visit type.
