NDIS home care in Erskineville —
you’ll know your worker by name.

NDIS home care in Erskineville

NDIS home care is support delivered in your own home, funded through your NDIS plan. In Erskineville, that means a support worker who comes to your terrace or apartment and helps with the parts of daily life you want a hand with. No two plans look the same. So no two visits look the same either.

Our in-home care services in Erskineville cover:

• Personal care — showering, dressing and grooming, done with patience and dignity
• Morning and evening routines that set the day up well and wind it down calmly
• Meals — planning, shopping on Erskineville Road and cooking together
• Household tasks — laundry, dishes and keeping your living space safe and comfortable
• Errands and transport during support hours — appointments, the chemist, the post office
• Company — because good home care is a relationship, not a checklist

We are a registered NDIS service provider (4050099017), and we keep the same small group of workers with you. That consistency is the whole point. The person helping you shower or cook should be someone you know and trust — not a new face every fortnight.

What a week of home care can look like

Some people in Erskineville see a worker every morning. Others book two longer visits a week. A common pattern: an early visit for personal care and breakfast, a shop in the village, then a walk to Sydney Park or a coffee on Erskineville Road so the day has something social in it.

Home care works best when it opens the door to daily life, not just tasks. Your roster is set before each fortnight starts, so you always know who is coming and when. If something changes mid-fortnight, you hear from us — not from silence.

In-home respite care for family carers

Many families in the inner west carry the caring role themselves, week in and week out. In-home respite care gives a family carer a planned break while a worker steps in at home. Because it’s a worker you already know, the routine holds — meals happen the way they usually do, and the person being supported stays in their own living space rather than somewhere unfamiliar.

If you’re caring for someone in Erskineville and running on empty, call us. Respite care is easier to arrange than most people expect, and asking for it is not a failure — it’s how caring keeps working long-term.

Support beyond the front door

Home care and community access work best together. The same worker who helps at home can support a session at the library, a swim, our Wednesday Rec Group, or time at Erskineville Oval — whatever helps you stay connected to friends, family and the village. Erskineville is compact and walkable, which makes it one of the easier inner-west suburbs to get out and about in.

Erskineville Station on the Inner West & Leppington line, with Macdonaldtown a short walk away, keeps most appointments reachable without a car — and Sydney Park, one of the largest green spaces in the inner city, sits right on the doorstep for accessible outdoor outings. We build travel time into the roster so support hours go to the participant. More on how these supports are funded is on our community participation page.

Support Coordination in Erskineville

Erskineville sits between Newtown and Alexandria, close to the allied-health and hospital networks around Royal Prince Alfred and Camperdown. A coordinator who knows the area turns that density into a working plan — not a list of referrals you have to chase yourself.

We manage coordinator caseloads to support direct contact when a plan changes mid-stream. We source providers across every support category, manage renewals and reviews, build service agreements, and present all provider options in writing under a clear conflict-of-interest policy.

How NDIS home care is funded

Home care usually sits in the Core Supports budget of an NDIS plan, most often as assistance with daily life. It works whether your plan is self-managed, plan-managed or NDIA-managed. Our rates are published, and every support is agreed in writing before it starts — no surprises. For the full picture of what in-home support covers, see our guide to assistance with daily living.

One thing worth knowing: NDIS home care is different from aged care. If you’re 65 or over when you first apply, My Aged Care is usually the pathway instead. Not sure which applies to you? Call (02) 7265 1558 and we’ll point you the right way, in plain English.

Getting around Erskineville

From Erskineville Oval and the Erskineville Road village down to Sydney Park, our workers know the suburb’s quiet streets and accessible routes — the practical detail that decides whether a visit runs on time.

We serve Erskineville (2043) and the surrounding inner west: Newtown, Alexandria, St Peters, Macdonaldtown and Eveleigh. Referrals receive a clear written next step, and you meet your worker before supports begin.

We’re also a proudly Aboriginal-owned, culturally safe team — and everyone is welcome.
