Domestic Assistance: More Than Just Household Help

A tidy and safe home environment is essential for wellbeing — especially as mobility changes with age. Domestic assistance is about more than cleaning; it is about supporting confidence, routine and safety.

Daily essential tasks like cleaning floors, cooking meals, laundry and home organisation can become physically exhausting for many seniors. Domestic assistance ensures these tasks remain manageable without overwhelming physical strain.

Under the Support at Home Program, older Australians can receive scheduled help to maintain a clean and healthy home that reduces risks like falls or infection.

When household tasks are no longer a worry, seniors can focus on enjoying hobbies, social time and relaxation — while feeling safer and more empowered in their own homes.
