NDIS cleaning: what a cleaning visit actually covers

Last reviewed 1 July 2026 · 5 min read · By Sarah M., Support Coordinator
In short

An NDIS-funded clean is a support worker visiting your home on a regular schedule — typically weekly or fortnightly — to clean kitchens, bathrooms, floors and living areas. A visit can be a routine tidy or a periodic deep clean. It is funded as a household task; end-of-lease and bond cleans are not.

What a regular cleaning visit includes

A standard cleaning visit focuses on the rooms where hygiene matters most. A worker arrives, works through an agreed list, and a typical session runs a couple of hours depending on your home and hours.

Kitchen — benches, stovetop, sink and splashbacks
Bathroom and toilet — basin, shower, tiles and surfaces
Floors — vacuuming and mopping through the home
Dusting and wiping down living areas
Emptying bins and general tidy

How often can a clean be scheduled?

Most participants book a weekly or fortnightly clean and keep the same worker, so a routine builds and the home stays on top of. Some choose monthly visits or a longer session less often.

Frequency is set around your needs and the hours in your plan — you and your provider agree a rhythm and adjust it as things change.

Regular clean vs deep clean vs end-of-lease

A routine clean maintains the home week to week. A deep clean (sometimes called a spring clean) is a heavier periodic session — inside the oven, behind appliances, full bathroom detail — funded where a build-up affects your health and you can’t manage it.

What the NDIS won’t cover is cleaning unrelated to disability: end-of-lease or bond cleans, post-renovation clean-ups, or a tidy any tenant would pay for. Eligibility for funded cleaning follows the household-tasks rules.

Common questions

Questions, answered.

Is NDIS cleaning weekly or fortnightly? +
Either — most people choose weekly or fortnightly visits, but the schedule is set around your needs and plan hours. Monthly or one-off deeper sessions are also possible.
Can I have the same cleaner each visit? +
Usually yes. Keeping a consistent worker helps build a routine and means they learn how you like your home cared for.
Does a clean include the oven, windows or fridge? +
These are typically part of a periodic deep clean rather than a routine visit. Agree the task list with your provider so expectations are clear.
Will the NDIS pay for an end-of-lease or bond clean? +
No. End-of-lease, bond and post-renovation cleans aren't disability-related, so they fall outside funded cleaning.
Do I need to supply cleaning products? +
The funding pays for the worker's time, not consumables. Everyday cleaning products are a normal household cost.
