Our Domestic Assistance Services
What does Domestic Assistance involve?
Domestic assistance services, including home care cleaning, provide practical support with everyday household tasks that may become more difficult over time. Whether it’s keeping your home clean and comfortable or simply taking some of the pressure off day-to-day routines, this support can help older South Australians continue living safely and independently at home.
At Life Care, domestic assistance focuses on supporting your routines rather than changing them. Services are flexible and can be tailored to suit your needs, whether you require regular support or occasional help with specific tasks such as:

Laundry
Assistance with washing, drying, folding, and putting away clothing and household linen as part of your regular routine.

Funding Your Domestic Assistance
Domestic assistance can be funded in different ways depending on your circumstances and eligibility. Home care cleaning services may also be included as part of your approved support.
- Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP): Entry-level, subsidised support for eligible older Australians who need a little extra help to remain independent at home.
- Support at Home: Government-funded support for people with more ongoing or complex care needs, with services based on your individual assessment and approved funding.
- Fee for Service: Private, self-funded support for people who would prefer to access services without government funding.
Understanding aged care funding can feel confusing, especially if you’re navigating it for the first time. Our team can help explain your options and guide you through the next steps, so accessing domestic assistance feels more manageable.
