How we rank providers

Rankings in Australia are based on real outcomes between providers and families on our platform. They are recalculated daily and cannot be purchased or influenced by advertising.

  • Outcomes with families. We measure what happens after a family contacts a provider. Providers where families report positive outcomes rank higher. Multiple signals are weighted across a rolling window.
  • Service match. Providers are ranked by how closely their registered services and capabilities match what you are searching for.
  • Registration and compliance. NDIS registered and government-approved aged care providers are weighted for meeting quality and safeguards standards.
  • Local presence. Providers confirmed in Australia rank above those covering only the broader region.

What does "Trusted" mean? The Trusted badge is awarded to providers with a consistent record of positive outcomes with families on our platform. It is based on multiple behavioural signals and family feedback, and it cannot be purchased.

When You Need More Than Just a Cleaning Service

Are you or a family member struggling with the day-to-day demands of running a household?

  • Is grocery shopping becoming a difficult or tiring weekly chore?
  • Are you worried about keeping up with laundry, mail, and general home organisation?
  • Do you need a hand with meal planning and cooking to maintain a healthy diet?
  • Are you looking for a single, trusted provider who can help with a variety of household tasks, not just one?

Professional providers offer a holistic service that lightens your load and supports your independence.

Domestic Assistance Services Available: Your Partner in Home Management

Experienced providers offer a flexible service that is completely customized to you. Your dedicated support worker can help with a wide range of tasks, including:

  • Shopping & Errands: They can take care of your grocery shopping, pick up prescriptions, or run other essential errands.
  • Meal Preparation: Assistance with planning menus, chopping vegetables, and cooking nutritious meals.
  • Light Housekeeping: Keeping your kitchen and bathroom hygienic, vacuuming, dusting, and changing bed linens to ensure your home is safe and comfortable.
  • Laundry Management: A helping hand with washing, drying, ironing, and putting clothes away.
  • Home Organisation: Assistance with sorting mail, paying bills online, and scheduling appointments.

An MD Home Care worker helps with making a bed, ensuring the home is comfortable.

“It’s Been a Weight Off My Shoulders.”

“After my fall, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to stay in my own home. Keeping up with everything felt impossible. My support worker, Jenny, doesn’t just clean. She helps me with my shopping, makes sure I have meals prepared for the week, and even helped me set up online bill payments. It’s not just help; it’s peace of mind.” Helen P., Australia

Funding Expertise: Providers understand NDIS Core Supports and Home Care Package claiming so you get the support you’re entitled to.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a standard cleaning service? A standard cleaning service typically performs a deep clean. Domestic Assistance services are broader, ongoing support services focused on helping you manage your daily life. While they include light housekeeping to keep your home safe and tidy, they also cover vital tasks like shopping, cooking, and laundry to support your overall independence.

Is this service covered by my Home Care Package or NDIS plan? Yes. For Home Care Packages, these services are a core component. For the NDIS, they typically fall under Core Supports - Assistance with Daily Life. Providers are experts at helping you align their services with your funding.

Can I change the tasks my support worker does each visit? Absolutely. These services are designed to be flexible. You can work with your support worker to prioritise what you need done each visit, whether it’s more help with meals one week or catching up on laundry the next.
