Living with a disability shouldn’t mean choosing between exhausting yourself on housework and letting the basics slide. If cleaning leaves you in pain, if laundry has become a two-day job broken into stages, or if cooking a proper meal feels out of reach most nights, that’s exactly the kind of everyday barrier the NDIS is designed to fund support for.
AD Health Care provides NDIS domestic assistance Kingswood to participants across Kingswood and the wider City of Penrith area. Our support workers take on the household tasks that have become difficult, painful or unsafe, so your energy goes toward the parts of life that matter more to you.
What domestic assistance covers
In NDIS terms, domestic assistance falls under household tasks — practical, hands-on help with running your home. For Kingswood participants, that regularly includes:
- General cleaning — vacuuming, mopping, dusting, kitchen and bathroom hygiene
- Laundry, from washing through to folding and putting clothes away
- Meal preparation, whether that’s a single dinner or a full week of batch cooking
- Changing bed linen and general household tidying
- Dishes and kitchen resets
- Bins and household rubbish management
- Grocery shopping, either with you or on your behalf
We build the visit schedule around your life, not the other way around. Some participants want one longer session each week. Others prefer shorter, more frequent visits spread across several days. Both work fine within a support plan.
How it is funded
Household tasks sit inside your Core Supports budget, under Assistance with Daily Life. Core is the most flexible category in an NDIS plan, meaning funding generally moves between support types as your needs shift — more cleaning hours one month, fewer community access hours the next, without a plan review being required for every adjustment.
Pricing is governed by the NDIS Pricing Schedule, which replaced the earlier Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits from 1 July 2026. Household task pricing carries its own capped rate nationally, and support worker rates across the board rose by roughly 4.8% in that update. Any advertised rate you see elsewhere is worth checking against the actual current schedule — caps set a ceiling, and your service agreement records what you actually pay.
Not every domestic task is funded. The NDIS pays for support connected to your disability, not general lifestyle preferences — routine hygiene cleaning is funded, a full pre-sale house detail typically isn’t. Cleaning products and groceries also remain your own cost; the NDIS funds the worker’s time, not the items themselves. Full detail is available through the NDIS guidance on funded supports.
It’s worth noting that domestic assistance under the NDIS is a separate program from home care funded through My Aged Care or the Support at Home Program — the two are sometimes confused in outer Sydney given the overlap in services offered, but eligibility and funding pathways differ.
If household tasks aren’t currently in your plan, bring functional evidence to your next review — an occupational therapist’s report, or simply a clear description of what happens when you attempt the task yourself.
Why local matters in Kingswood
Kingswood sits at the edge of Penrith’s town centre, home to Nepean Hospital and the Western Sydney University and TAFE NSW campuses — a mix that brings together an ageing local population, students living independently, and younger NDIS participants, often in a single stretch of suburb. Our Kingswood support workers are used to working across a genuine range of household types, from compact rental units near the university to established family homes further from the station.
Because Kingswood and Penrith are practically one community, our local team also regularly supports participants across the boundary. Domestic assistance in Kingswood pairs naturally with our existing NDIS domestic assistance in Penrith service, and with community nursing or disability transport support for participants coordinating appointments at Nepean Hospital.
Working with AD Health Care
We are a registered NDIS provider, which means every support worker holds a current NDIS Worker Screening Check and we operate under the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission. We work with NDIA-managed, plan-managed and self-managed participants without complication.
Where rostering allows, we prioritise consistency — the same worker returning visit after visit, because familiarity with your home and routine means more gets done, more comfortably, than starting over with someone new each time.

FAQs
What is NDIS domestic assistance Kingswood?
NDIS domestic assistance is funded to help with household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, meal preparation and grocery shopping. AD Health Care provides this support to participants across Kingswood and the wider City of Penrith area, including Werrington and Cambridge Park.
Is domestic assistance covered by the NDIS?
Yes. Household tasks are funded under your Core Supports budget, specifically Assistance with Daily Life, where the need connects to your disability. The NDIS applies a reasonable and necessary test, and an occupational therapist’s report can support a request at plan review.
How much does NDIS domestic assistance cost per hour?
Rates are capped under the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026–27. Any rate you see advertised elsewhere should be checked against the current schedule, since caps set a maximum rather than a fixed charge — your service agreement records the rate actually agreed.
Does NDIS funding cover cleaning products and groceries?
No. The NDIS funds your support worker’s time, not the items themselves. Cleaning products, groceries and other consumables remain your own cost. A worker can shop for these with you or on your behalf using your own funds.
Is NDIS domestic assistance different from My Aged Care home support?
Yes. NDIS domestic assistance and My Aged Care’s Support at Home Program are separate funding pathways with different eligibility rules, even though the household tasks delivered can look similar. Your age and how you first became eligible for support determine which pathway applies.
How many hours of domestic assistance can I receive?
There’s no fixed allocation — hours depend on your Core Supports budget and assessed needs. Many Kingswood participants use two to four hours weekly or fortnightly, and because Core funding is flexible, hours can shift as circumstances change.
