The 10 providers listed here all service Carrum Downs and surrounding areas.

If you are an older Australian looking for help with household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, or shopping, the providers below have experience delivering aged care domestic assistance and can bill directly through My Aged Care approved programs.

What to compare before choosing

Funding fit

NDIS household tasks and aged-care domestic assistance follow different funding rules.

Included tasks

Light domestic assistance does not automatically include deep, specialist or biohazard cleaning.

Ask: Which exact tasks, products and equipment are included in the quoted visit?

Consistent weekly or fortnightly capacity is more useful than broad area coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly do providers respond to enquiries in Carrum Downs?

Based on 28 accepted enquiries on Carevo in Carrum Downs, providers accept enquiry details with a median of 2 minutes. 71% of enquiries in Carrum Downs have enquiry details accepted within 1 hour, and 86% within 24 hours. This covers every service in Carrum Downs, so it differs from the domestic assistance figure below.

How quickly are domestic assistance enquiries responded to?

Across 6586 domestic assistance accepted enquiries on Carevo, the median enquiry acceptance time is 6 minutes. 68% of domestic assistance enquiries nationally have enquiry details accepted within 1 hour, and 85% within 24 hours. This is the national figure for one service, so it differs from any Carrum Downs figure above, which covers every service in the suburb.

How many domestic assistance providers are there in Carrum Downs?

There are currently 98 domestic assistance providers listed for Carrum Downs on Carevo. These span NDIS registered providers, My Aged Care approved services, and private providers.

How much does domestic assistance cost in Carrum Downs?

Domestic assistance in Carrum Downs typically costs $45-$65/hour (subsidised rates for eligible clients) per hour when subsidised. CHSP clients pay a small co-contribution. HCP clients draw from their package budget. Private clients pay the full rate. NDIS rates vary by provider and time of day.

What is the difference between domestic assistance and house cleaning?

The terms overlap, but domestic assistance is generally broader. It can include not just cleaning but also laundry, ironing, changing bed linen, dishwashing, and sometimes light meal preparation or grocery assistance. A house cleaner typically focuses on cleaning tasks only.

Can I get domestic assistance under both NDIS and a Home Care Package?

No. You cannot use both programs for the same service at the same time. If you are under 65 with a disability, the NDIS is generally your primary option. Once you turn 65, you typically transition to aged care programs such as HCP or CHSP for domestic supports.

Do I need an assessment to access subsidised domestic assistance?

Yes. For NDIS funding you need a current NDIS plan that includes Core Supports. For aged care programs you need to register with My Aged Care and be assessed. Call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 to start the aged care process.

How often can I receive domestic assistance services?

Frequency depends on your funding and assessed needs. CHSP typically provides fortnightly assistance. Home Care Package holders can arrange more frequent visits depending on their package level and care plan. NDIS participants can negotiate frequency based on their plan budget.

Can I direct the domestic assistance worker on what to prioritise?

Yes. You have the right to direct the worker within the scope of your agreed service. If your preferences change, let the provider know and they will update your care plan. A good provider will check in regularly to confirm the service is meeting your needs.

What is aged care domestic assistance and how does it work?

Aged care domestic assistance covers household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, ironing, dishwashing, changing bed linen, and light tidying for older Australians who find these tasks difficult due to age or health. It is funded through Home Care Packages and the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP). To access aged care domestic assistance, you register with My Aged Care (1800 200 422) and complete an assessment. Once approved, a provider is arranged to deliver regular domestic assistance visits funded from your package or CHSP allocation. Co-contributions may apply under CHSP.

What if I am unhappy with the service?

Raise concerns directly with the provider first. If unresolved, NDIS participants can contact the NDIS Commission on 1800 035 544. Aged care clients can contact the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission on 1800 951 822. You also have the right to change providers without penalty.

How Much Does Domestic Assistance Cost in Carrum Downs?

Domestic assistance in Carrum Downs typically costs $45-$65/hour (subsidised rates for eligible clients) per hour when subsidised through a government program. The rate you pay out of pocket depends on which program you are on and the provider's fee schedule. Private clients pay the full hourly rate without any government contribution.

For NDIS participants, domestic assistance falls under Core Supports. Registered providers must charge within the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. For aged care clients, Home Care Package and CHSP rates vary by provider and package level, but the government covers the bulk of the cost.

Some providers charge a flat session fee rather than an hourly rate. This can work in your favour for shorter visits but may add up for longer sessions. Always confirm whether the rate is hourly or per session, and whether travel or equipment costs are charged separately.

Higher-needs tasks or those requiring specialist skills, such as supporting someone with dementia or complex behavioural needs, may attract a higher rate. Ask providers about any loading that applies to your situation.

Time	Indicative rate
Standard weekday (subsidised)	$45 - $65/hr
CHSP co-contribution (approximate)	$5 - $15/hr
NDIS registered provider (weekday)	$67 - $80/hr
Private rate	$45 - $65/hr
Weekend rate (private)	$55 - $80/hr

Rates are indicative and vary by provider and funding type. NDIS participants should check the current NDIS Pricing Schedule. Aged care clients should check with their package coordinator or CHSP provider for applicable co-contribution amounts.

How to Pay for Domestic Assistance in Carrum Downs

Domestic assistance can be funded through several programs in Carrum Downs. The right option depends on your age, disability status, and any existing approvals.

NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme): Domestic assistance is funded under Core Supports, Assistance with Daily Life. Your plan must include this category. NDIA-managed participants use registered providers. Plan-managed participants can use registered or unregistered providers. Self-managed participants have the widest choice and can negotiate rates directly.

Home Care Package (HCP): Domestic assistance is one of the most commonly funded services under all four package levels. Your package coordinator includes it in your care plan and pays the provider from your package budget. Higher package levels provide more funding for additional hours or more frequent visits.

Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP): CHSP provides basic domestic assistance for older Australians who need help at home. A My Aged Care referral and assessment is required. Once approved, you pay a small co-contribution set by the provider.

Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA): Veterans with a DVA Gold or White Card may be eligible for domestic assistance through DVA community support programs. Eligibility depends on your card type and whether your condition affects your ability to manage household tasks.

Private payment: Available to anyone without waiting periods or assessments. Good for people who do not yet have funding approval or who want services outside what their package covers.

What to Expect from Domestic Assistance in Carrum Downs

Domestic assistance covers a broad range of tasks that help you manage your home when daily chores become difficult due to age, disability, or recovery from illness. Services are flexible and can be adjusted as your needs change.

Common tasks include vacuuming and mopping, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, doing laundry and ironing, washing dishes, changing bed linen, tidying common areas, and sometimes light meal preparation or grocery unpacking. The exact tasks depend on your care plan and what your funding covers.

Providers will usually conduct a brief assessment before starting services to understand your home setup, any safety considerations, and what tasks are most important to you. This is also a good time to discuss preferences such as cleaning products, access arrangements, and which rooms to prioritise.

Good providers assign the same worker to your home consistently. Familiarity matters when someone is in your personal space regularly. If a regular worker is unavailable, you should receive advance notice and a replacement who has been briefed on your needs. Any concerns about service quality should be raised with the provider promptly. If unresolved, you have the right to make a complaint or change providers.

Response figures are based on 440 domestic assistance requests across Victoria over the last 180 days, as we do not yet have enough requests in Carrum Downs to report a local figure. 12% of those requests received no response. Measured on enquiries across all services in Frankston over the last 180 days. In that same period 90.3% of enquiries there reached at least one provider (28 of 31). That is 0.08 enquiries per provider listed across Frankston in that period (393 at the time, a wider area and an earlier date than the Carrum Downs count above). How we calculate our numbers

How we rank providers

Rankings in Carrum Downs use directory relevance and observable activity on Carevo: service match, distance, register-sourced status fields, whether an enquiry can reach the provider, and recent response and connection activity. Rankings are recalculated daily. They do not assess care quality or recommend a provider.

How this list is built. Providers shown here are registered with the NDIS for Household tasks, or offer domestic help and cleaning.
Activity on Carevo. We measure recent actions such as connecting on an enquiry, opening its contact details, responding, and an inquirer reporting whether a connection helped. These are platform activity signals, not an assessment of the support delivered.
Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
Register-sourced status. NDIS registration fields come from the NDIS Commission provider register. Aged care approval fields come from the My Aged Care register. These statuses are ranking inputs, not Carevo endorsements, and you should confirm the current register entry before choosing a provider.
Carevo enquiries. Providers who have paused requests from us are moved down among providers with the same relevance. They stay visible and are marked as not receiving Carevo enquiries.
Recent activity. Providers active on Carevo recently (a connection, a login, or a profile update) get a small boost, the same signal shown as "Active this week" on their card. It is deliberately small: stronger relevance and condition evidence outweigh a recent login.
Local presence. Providers confirmed in Carrum Downs rank above those covering only the broader region.

What the enquiries status means

It answers one question: would a request sent through Carevo today actually reach them? It is not a rating, it is not about the provider's books, and it is not a statement about their capacity, their waiting list, or the quality of their care.

Receiving: At least one contact on their account is set up to receive new requests from us, and someone has signed in recently enough for us to say a person is there.
Not receiving: Every contact on the account has unsubscribed or paused, so we have no way to pass an enquiry on.
No status shown: We cannot tell either way, so we say nothing rather than label the provider. The account is set to receive enquiries, but nobody has signed in recently, or there are no contact details on file. It is not a negative mark, and most listings sit here.

A provider who is not receiving our enquiries may well be taking new clients directly. Providers set this themselves and can turn it back on at any time from their Carevo account or from any email we send them. Providers not receiving our enquiries are moved down the list and never hidden. It is refreshed daily, so a provider who resumes, or signs in, reappears within a day.

What the Carevo activity rating means

The Strong activity rating describes how a provider behaves on Carevo, not the care they deliver.

Where it starts: Every provider starts at a baseline of 50.
What moves it: Enquiries from the last 90 days. The strongest positive is a care seeker naming that provider as the one who helped them. The clearest negative is connecting on an enquiry and never opening the contact details.
How it is kept honest: Recalculated daily from scratch, shown only above the baseline and only with at least two scored signals, and removed automatically when either stops being true. It cannot be purchased.

It is not an endorsement, a recommendation, or an assessment of care quality, and we do not screen providers for complaints. Complaints are handled by the NDIS Commission and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission. See the full activity rating methodology.
