Home and garden help

We are challenging and advocating for an integrated care approach for all Australians in the health, community and aged care sectors. Whether at home or facilities based, we work to provide access to quality in-home care. 

While we don't currently provide home and garden help in your area, we are committed to ensuring that people have access to the right information regarding their home and garden help options where and when they need it.   

We have compiled a list of considerations that we believe are important for you when seeking care. We hope this helps you on your care journey and as we grow and expand, so will our ability to provide more choice for quality home-based care in your area. 

Considering home and garden services  

When you've worked hard to make a home you love, you want to maintain it at its best. Sometimes though, it can be difficult to keep up with jobs and you need a bit of help. Some of the common home and garden services you may receive are listed below. 

Help around the house  

When you've worked hard to make a home you love, you want to maintain it at its best. Sometimes though, it can be difficult to keep up with jobs and you need a bit of help. Your provider should offer services to help tidy up, keep your bathrooms clean and mop, sweep, vacuum and dust your house, help with your bins and keep your kitchen in order. 

Laundry  

Your provider should assist with tasks like your laundry and changing your bed linen and towels. It all helps to make your life as normal and comfortable as possible. 

Full home spring clean  

Sometimes maintaining your home can get away from you, especially when you've been away or unwell. Your provider should be able to come in for a one-off spring clean, getting you back to where you feel comfortable and on top of things. 

Gardening and lawn maintenance  

Keeping a presentable home and garden helps with self-confidence, but also means you can enjoy a nice, comfortable setting. Your provider should help arrange basic landscaping and lawn-mowing services to keep your garden tidy and safe. 

Caring for your plants  

Plants need regular care so when mobility is an issue, they can be one of the first things to miss your attention. Your provider should help take care of indoor plants and those in your garden. 

Cleaning up your garden  

Your provider should be able to come and help clean up a messy or overgrown garden, clearing paths, cutting hedges and mulching, helping you maintain a safe and tidy yard.
