In-home support guides and resources

What in-home support workers can help with

You can ask about help with showering, grooming, cleaning, laundry, meals, medication prompts and agreed health routines. If there are tasks you'd like to practise yourself, talk about those too. The work needs to fit your support plan, funding and the worker's role.

Meal preparation and the NDIS

A worker can help with agreed meal planning, shopping and cooking tasks, including food safety. Tell them what you like to eat, any dietary needs and what you'd like to do yourself.

Building independent living skills

You might want to practise a weekly budget, organise your laundry or learn a few dinners you enjoy cooking. You might need ongoing help with some tasks. We'll talk about what matters to you and agree on practical goals. If you need more substantial ongoing support, read about our Supported Independent Living service and talk to us about whether it's relevant to your needs.

What in-home support costs

The cost depends on the help you need and when it happens. NDIS price limits differ for weekdays, evenings, overnight, weekends and public holidays. Our quote builder uses the current South Australian limits to give you an estimate. We'll talk through the price and any extra agreed charges with you, then record them in the service agreement.

Choosing a provider you can rely on

Ask how a provider matches workers, who you contact when something changes and what happens if your usual worker is away. It's worth checking the service agreement and costs too. Read what Adelaide families say about us and see the areas we cover.
