NDIS Cleaning Services: How Westside Support Services Enhances Daily Living for People with Disabilities
Maintaining a clean and organized living space can be particularly challenging for individuals with disabilities due to mobility limitations, cognitive challenges, or sensory sensitivities. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers funding for daily living support services, including professional cleaning, to ensure participants can live comfortably and safely in their homes.
Understanding NDIS Cleaning Services
NDIS cleaning services are designed to assist individuals with disabilities in maintaining a clean and healthy home environment. These services include a range of tasks from routine housekeeping to more specialized cleaning needs, aiming to support participants in achieving a safe and comfortable living space.
NDIS participants can access these services if they are deemed reasonable and necessary within their NDIS plan. If your plan includes funding under Assistance with Daily Living, you can hire professional cleaners to assist with house cleaning, gardening, and basic home maintenance. It’s important to note that these services cover basic household tasks and do not include specialized trades like electrical or plumbing work.
If your current plan does not cover NDIS cleaning services, consult your NDIS planner to explore available options and next steps.

Things to Consider When Hiring a Cleaning Service Provider
Before hiring a cleaning service provider under the NDIS, consider the following to ensure coverage and smooth service delivery:
- Have a Service Agreement
Drafting a service agreement is essential to outline the scope of services, pricing, and terms of delivery. This agreement helps prevent misunderstandings and ensures clear expectations between you and the provider.
- Price Agreement
The NDIS uses an hourly-rate pricing system. It is important to agree on rates beforehand, as any costs beyond the NDIS limits will need to be covered out-of-pocket. Ensure incidental costs are included in the agreement to avoid unexpected expenses.
- Use NDIS Pricing Arrangements
Ensure the service provider’s invoices comply with NDIS requirements. This includes detailing hours worked and incorporating incidental costs like transportation for purchasing supplies. The NDIS price guide regulates the maximum hourly rate a cleaning service can charge.
At Westside Support Services, we adhere to all NDIS pricing guidelines to ensure our services are accessible and transparent.
Tips for Maximizing NDIS Cleaning Services
To make the most of your NDIS cleaning services, consider the following tips:
- Communicate Clearly
Discuss your cleaning needs and expectations openly with your NDIS planner and service provider to ensure the support aligns with your requirements.
- Provide Regular Feedback
Offer feedback to your service provider to ensure you receive the best service possible. If certain aspects aren’t meeting your expectations, communicate this to allow adjustments to be made.
