NDIS Cleaning Services

Maintaining a clean and safe home environment is essential for everyone, especially for those who receive support through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Clean & Personal offers NDIS-registered tailored cleaning services designed to meet the unique needs of NDIS participants. These services, called Household Tasks and funded by Everyday Living through Core, help you maintain independence and comfort in your home. In this post, I will explain the comprehensive services provided by NDIS cleaners and how they can support your daily living.

Overview

NDIS cleaners provide more than just basic cleaning. Their services are designed to support your health, safety, and well-being. They understand the specific requirements of NDIS participants and adapt their work accordingly. This means they focus on areas that matter most to you, such as hygiene, accessibility, and comfort.

Some of the key services include:

• General cleaning: Dusting, vacuuming, mopping floors, and cleaning surfaces.

• Bathroom and kitchen cleaning: Sanitising sinks, toilets, showers, and kitchen benches.

• Laundry support: Washing, drying, folding clothes, and changing bed linens.

• Specialised cleaning: Cleaning assistive devices and equipment to ensure they remain safe and functional.

• Waste management: Proper disposal of rubbish and recycling to maintain a clutter-free environment.

  
  

These services are flexible and can be scheduled regularly or as needed. The goal is to reduce your stress and help you focus on other important aspects of your life.

Why Choose NDIS Cleaners?

Choosing an NDIS cleaner means you get a professional who understands your needs and the NDIS framework. They are trained to work with people who have disabilities and know how to provide respectful and supportive care. This specialised knowledge ensures that cleaning tasks are done safely and effectively.

Here are some reasons to consider registered NDIS cleaners:

• Tailored services: Cleaning plans are customised to your preferences and requirements, depending on input from you, your nominee, or your support coordinator.

• Reliable and consistent: Regular visits help maintain a clean home without you having to worry.

• Support for independence: Cleaners assist with tasks that might be difficult for you, helping you stay independent and leaving room for you to achieve your goals.

• Compliance with NDIS standards: Services meet the quality and safety standards set by the NDIS Quality & Safeguards Commission.

  
  

By choosing a provider like Clean and Personal, you can be confident that your home care needs are met professionally and compassionately.

What are the duties of a NDIS cleaner?

NDIS cleaners have a range of duties that go beyond typical household cleaning. Their role is to support your daily living by maintaining a safe and hygienic environment. Here are some common duties they perform:

1. Cleaning and sanitising: This includes floors, windows, kitchen surfaces, bathrooms, and bedrooms.

2. Laundry tasks: Washing, drying, ironing, and folding clothes and bedding.

3. Assistive equipment cleaning: Wiping down wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility aids.

4. Waste removal: Emptying bins and ensuring rubbish is disposed of properly.

5. Stock management: Whilst we bring all of our equipment and products, we can also use yours if you have a specific preference for product/s or equipment. We simply ask that you show us how to use it. If we do use yours, we will notify you when your cleaning supplies or household essentials need replenishing.

6. Reporting hazards: Identifying and reporting any safety issues in the home.

   
   

These duties are carried out with respect for your privacy and preferences. The cleaner works with you to ensure the service fits your lifestyle and needs.

How to Access NDIS Cleaning Services

Accessing cleaning services through the NDIS is straightforward if you have a funded support plan that includes Household Tasks. Here’s how you can get started:

1. Check your NDIS plan: Look for funding under categories like "Assistance with Daily Life" or "Household Tasks."

2. Choose a provider: Select a registered NDIS provider like Clean & Personal that offers cleaning services.

3. Contact the provider: Discuss your needs and schedule a service plan that suits you.

4. Book regular visits: Arrange for ongoing cleaning sessions or one-off deep cleans as required.

5. Manage your plan: If you are self-managed or plan-managed, you can coordinate payments and service agreements directly.

6. NDIA-Managed: If you are NDIA-managed, you can still exercise choice and control over which registered providers you use. We are NDIS registered, and, as such, we can request payment from your plan through the NDIS provider portal.

   
   

Using an NDIS cleaner helps you make the most of your funding and ensures your home environment supports your health and independence.

Tips for Maximising Your NDIS Cleaning Support

To get the best from your NDIS cleaning services, consider these practical tips:

• Communicate clearly: Let your cleaner know your preferences and any specific areas that need attention.

• Stick to a recurring schedule: Consistency helps maintain a healthy home and reduces the need for deep cleans.

• Combine services: If you need other supports, like home modifications or personal care, discuss these services with us.

• Keep your cleaner informed: Update them about any changes in your health or living situation.

• Use your funding wisely: Plan your cleaning services around your budget and goals to get the most value.
