Cleaning and Domestic Assistance - Support at Home Services for Seniors
Keeping a clean, safe and well-organised home is one of the most important foundations of independent living. For many older Australians, everyday household tasks can become increasingly difficult but with the right support, you can maintain the home environment you love without compromise.
After-Care provides professional cleaning and domestic assistance services for elderly Australians as part of the My Aged Care Support at Home program. Our services are flexible, reliable and completely tailored to your individual needs whether you need a little help each week or more comprehensive ongoing support.
What is Domestic Assistance Under Support at Home?
Domestic assistance is a funded service available to eligible Australians through the My Aged Care Support at Home program. It covers the everyday household tasks that have become difficult to manage due to age, health or mobility helping you to continue living independently and comfortably at home.
