What Home Support Services Are Covered by the NDIS

 Did you know some of the most meaningful support for NDIS participants doesn't come from hospitals or care centres—but from the comfort of their own home?


For individuals living with a disability, even simple daily tasks like showering, cooking, or tidying up can become tough. But with the right support, they don’t have to go through it alone.


Thanks to the NDIS, participants can access in-home support services that help them live more independently, safely, and confidently in their own space.

From personal care to domestic help and even therapy delivered at home—this kind of support brings both comfort and peace of mind.


At Nascare Disability Support Services, we provide tailored in-home care that respects your needs and lifestyle. With over 12 years of experience as a registered NDIS provider, we’ve supported countless Australians to live life on their terms.

In this blog, we’ll break down what NDIS in-home support includes, who it’s for, and how it can make a real difference.


What is NDIS In-Home Support?

In-home support under the NDIS means getting help with day-to-day tasks in your own home. It's ideal for those who want to stay independent but may need a hand with certain activities.

This support may include:


  • Help with personal care like bathing, dressing, and grooming
  • Assistance with housework, cooking, and laundry
  • Therapy and skill-building sessions at home

The goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and in control—all within the comfort of your own space.


How Does It Fit Into Your NDIS Plan?

In-home support typically falls under two funding categories:

  • Core Supports – for help with daily personal tasks and household activities
  • Capacity Building Supports – for services that help you build skills and grow more independent

With the right support, participants can enjoy greater freedom and comfort at home—living life their way.


What Does the NDIS Fund for In-Home Support?

The NDIS can fund services such as:

  • Personal Care – showering, dressing, mobility support
  • Domestic Tasks – cleaning, cooking, washing clothes
  • Therapy at Home – occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and behavioural support

However, the NDIS does not cover:

  • Rent or mortgage repayments
  • Everyday food or groceries
  • General home maintenance not related to your disability
  • Utility bills (like electricity, water, internet)
  • Cleaning services for other household members not in the NDIS

It’s important to understand what’s included and what’s not, so your plan reflects your real needs.


Types of In-Home Services You Can Access

1. Personal Care
Support with hygiene, dressing, mobility, and other personal tasks—always delivered with respect and dignity.

2. Domestic Assistance
Help with everyday chores, to maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable living space.

3. In-Home Therapy
Therapists come to you—whether it’s physio, OT, or speech therapy—making it easier to work on your goals from home.

At Nascare, we offer all of the above and tailor each service to your preferences.


Who Can Access In-Home Support?

To access in-home care, it needs to be part of your NDIS plan. You must:

  • Be under 65 years of age
  • Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
  • Have a permanent and significant disability

Support is then based on your goals and what you need to live more independently.

Real Story: How In-Home Support Helped Joe

Joe lives with an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). After his injury, everyday tasks became a struggle, and he relied heavily on his family.

When Joe connected with Nascare, everything changed.

Our support workers began visiting regularly, helping with daily activities and slowly encouraging Joe to do things on his own again—like preparing simple meals and keeping a routine.

It gave Joe his confidence back—and lightened the load for his family.

“Nascare didn’t just support me, they helped me grow stronger every day.”
— Joe, NDIS Participant

Just like Joe, many participants across Australia are living more independently with our help.
