Domestic Assistance at Home in Brisbane

Domestic assistance helps you maintain your independence in the environment most familiar to you: your own home. Aged Plus connects you with highly trained and empathetic carers providing quality domestic assistance in Brisbane.

About Our Domestic Assistance Services

As an older Australian, you may need some help with the day to day tasks like cleaning, laundry or grocery shopping. This is where domestic assistance enters the picture.

Domestic assistance is the practical household support that enables older people to live safely and comfortably in their own homes. Domestic assistance focuses on maintaining your home environment. This makes it a separate but not completely unrelated area to personal care, which is about looking after your body. With our domestic assistance in aged care in Brisbane, Aged Plus keeps your living space safe, pleasant and well-organised for you.

Our domestic assistance services include:

Various cleaning services including vacuuming, mopping, dusting and bathroom cleaning services.
Laundry including washing, drying, folding and ironing your clothes.
Making the bed.
Doing the dishes.
Emptying bins.
Light gardening duties.
Shopping for groceries and other essentials.
Running errands such as picking up prescriptions, making trips to the post office etc.

It’s important for domestic carers to be trustworthy, compassionate and kind. All Aged Plus careers are police-checked, trained and matched to the client’s preferences and home routines. Our carers are guests in your home that prioritise your comfort and earn your trust, and you always have the final say over what you feel comfortable with.

Domestic assistance is often the first step in the aged care process and many clients combine it with personal care or social support as their needs evolve. It’s one of the Support at Home program’s core service types for which funding can be used. The service doesn’t include general expenses such as pest control or professional cleaning services.

Our Services

When you choose Aged Plus for domestic assistance in Brisbane, you choose clarity, warmth and reliable care. Our team works hard to overcome the typical pain points usually associated with seeking aged care and to make the process easier for you. Our services include:

Personal Care & Grooming

Personal care involves tailored in-home assistance to help seniors maintain high standards of hygiene and dignity. Aged Plus provides support in all kinds of personal care areas from general grooming to medication and nutrition.

Domestic Assistance

Domestic assistance helps seniors stay comfortable in their homes and maintain their quality of life. Sometimes a little assistance with daily household tasks can go a long way, and it’s that kind of household assistance that Aged Plus provides.

Social Support & Companionship

Staying connected with a supportive community is important for seniors. It promotes physical and mental health and reduces stress and loneliness.

This may be company or transportation to special events or understanding one-on-one companionship.

Transport and community access connects seniors with door-to-door assisted transport, allowing them to access the local community and its services. Aged Plus provides this extremely beneficial service to seniors who struggle with driving and public transport, helping them attend appointments and socialise.

Meal Prep & Nutrition

Meal prep & nutrition is an area that covers services like meal planning, cooking and delivery to make sure seniors receive a varied selection of tailored meals. Meal preparation can involve ready-made delivered meals, in-home food preparation and companionship and assistance while dining.

In-Home Nursing Support

Whether you’re recovering from surgery or require ongoing support for a health condition, our qualified registered nurses provide clinical levels of care in your own home. Adapting our Brisbane in-home care to meet your needs, we monitor your condition and respond efficiently and professionally.

Frequently Asked Questions

What household tasks does domestic assistance cover?

Tasks are tailored to your home and routine. If you’re wondering if our domestic assistance covers particular tasks, we’re happy to clarify for you.

Is domestic assistance funded through the Support at Home Program?

Yes. Domestic assistance is a core service type funded under the Support at Home Program. Once you have your classification and quarterly budget, our care coordinators will help you allocate funding to the household tasks that matter most to you.

Will the same carer come to my home each visit?

Yes. Aged Plus prioritises carer consistency, which builds trust and a strong relationship. We match you with a regular carer who gets to know your home, your preferences and your routine. In the rare event your carer is unavailable, we will always notify you in advance and arrange a familiar replacement instead.

What is the difference between domestic assistance and personal care?

Domestic assistance covers a wide range of household tasks including cleaning, laundry, shopping and home organisation. Personal care covers tasks specifically related to your body such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and mobility support. Many Aged Plus clients receive both services as part of a combined care plan. Our coordinators can help you determine what combination best suits your needs.
