NDIS Household Tasks Support in Geelong
- MasRic Health provides NDIS household tasks support across Greater Geelong and the Surf Coast, including cleaning, laundry, changing beds, dishes and keeping the home safe and organised. Support is delivered in the participant's own home by the same support worker each week and is funded under Assistance with Daily Life in the Core Supports budget.
Home Should Feel Calm, Not Like a To-Do List
For a lot of people with disability, the housework is where energy runs out first. The bathroom gets away from them. The washing stays in the machine. And the longer it’s left, the harder it is to start.
Household tasks support is for NDIS participants in Geelong and the Surf Coast who need a hand keeping their home clean, safe and in order, and for the family members who’ve been driving across town on a Sunday to do it. We come on the same day each week, we learn how they like things, and we leave the place feeling like theirs.
For some people the goal is saving energy for better things. For others it’s learning to do more themselves, one job at a time. We’ll do either, and usually a bit of both.
Household Tasks We Help With
A clean, safe, organised home, without it taking everything your family member has. We help with the cleaning, the laundry and the jobs that pile up, alongside the person where they want to be involved and for them where they don’t.
- The same support worker, so the house is done the way they like it
- Done with the person or for them, whichever suits the day
- Registered NDIS provider, funded from Core Supports at NDIS price limits
Cleaning
Kitchen, bathroom, floors, dusting and surfaces. The regular clean that keeps a home healthy.
Laundry
Washing, hanging out, folding, ironing if it matters, and putting away where things belong.
Beds and linen
Stripping and making beds, with fresh sheets and towels on a regular rhythm.
Dishes and kitchen
Washing up, wiping down, clearing the fridge of what's past it, and keeping benches clear.
Tidying and organising
Sorting the mail, clearing walkways, finding a home for things so the house is safer and easier to live in.
Bins and the small jobs
Rubbish and recycling out on the right night, shopping put away, the little things noticed before they become big ones.
Three Ways Household Support Can Work
It can change from week to week, and from job to job.
ON THE HARDER DAYS
Done for them
Where energy is low, or a task isn’t safe or possible, we simply get it done.
MOST WEEKS
Done Together
Side by side, sharing the job. They do what they can and we do the rest.

WHEN INDEPENDENCE IS THE GOAL
Learning to do it
Tasks become practice, taught step by step, and our help fades over time.

How Household Support Starts
We learn the house before we touch it.
A conversation
Fill in the form or call. We'll ring you back and listen: which jobs are hardest, how often help is needed, and how involved your family member wants to be.
A meet & greet at home
Your support worker visits with Masego while you're there. We walk through the house together and hear how they like things done.
A first visit together
One or two visits to learn where everything goes and what matters most. Their products, their order, their way.
A regular schedule
Same worker, same day each week, written into a simple service agreement. If something has to change, you hear it from us first.
Why a Familiar Face Matters at Home
Their home, their way
We use their products, follow their order of doing things, and never rearrange a room without being asked.
The same faces, every time
Your support worker learns where things live and how the towels are folded once. Nobody re-explains.
Guests, not contractors
We knock, we ask, and we involve the person as much as they want. It's their home and they stay in charge of it.
Registered and open about it
Audited against the NDIS Practice Standards. Everyone here holds an NDIS Worker Screening Check and a Working With Children Check. Ask to see the paperwork.
How NDIS Funding Covers Household Tasks
Household tasks are funded under Assistance with Daily Life, part of the Core Supports budget, where a participant can’t manage them alone because of their disability. Core Supports is flexible, so hours can usually be moved between household tasks, personal care and other daily supports.
Cleaning products and supplies are provided by the participant, as they would be in any home. Our support is everyday housework inside the house. For lawn mowing, yard maintenance or a one-off heavy clean, tell us and we’ll point you to a provider who does those. We bill in line with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.
Household Tasks Questions Families Ask Us
What household tasks can NDIS funding cover?
Everyday housework a participant can’t manage alone because of their disability: cleaning, laundry, beds, dishes and keeping the home safe and organised. It’s funded under Assistance with Daily Life in the Core Supports budget.
Will it be the same person each week?
Yes. We’re a team of three, you’ll meet all of us before we start, and your regular support worker stays your regular support worker.
Do you do gardening or heavy cleaning?
Our support is everyday housework inside the home. For lawn mowing, yard work or a one-off heavy clean, tell us and we’ll point you to a provider who does those.
Do you help people who live on their own?
Yes. Whether your family member lives alone, with housemates or with you, we work around the household.
Do you just clean, or can my family member be involved?
Either. Some people want the job done; others want to do it alongside us or learn to do it themselves. It can change from week to week, and we follow their lead.
Who supplies the cleaning products?
The participant, as an everyday household cost. We use what’s already in the home, which also means the house smells and feels the way they like it.
Can household tasks be combined with other support?
Yes, and it usually is. One visit might include the washing, the bathroom and getting dinner started. See assistance with daily activities and meal preparation.
What areas do you cover?
Still have questions?
Feel free to reach out through our website or give us a call. We are happy to help.
Want Home to Feel Manageable Again?
Tell us about your family member and the jobs that have got away from them. We’ll call you back, arrange a meet-and-greet at home, and take it from there.
