For NDIS participants, maintaining clean clothing and linen is an essential part of daily living. Laundry assistance can be funded under your NDIS plan, and understanding how to access this support can make a significant difference to your quality of life.
What NDIS Funding Covers
Laundry assistance falls under the **Daily Activities** support category (Core Supports) in the NDIS. This can include:
- •Assistance with washing, drying, and folding laundry
- •Pickup and delivery of laundry items
- •Ironing and garment care
- •Linen management
The key requirement is that the support must be "reasonable and necessary" — meaning it relates to your disability and helps you live more independently.
How to Access Laundry Support
1. Review Your Plan
Check your NDIS plan under Core Supports > Daily Activities. If you have funding in this category, you may be able to use it for laundry assistance.
2. Contact Your Support Coordinator
If you have a Support Coordinator, they can help you identify appropriate providers and ensure the service aligns with your plan goals.
3. Self-Managed vs Plan-Managed
- •**Self-managed participants** can engage any provider, including Sudsmith Laundry, and pay invoices directly from their NDIS funds.
- •**Plan-managed participants** can use any registered or unregistered provider — contact us to discuss invoicing arrangements.
- •**NDIA-managed participants** must use NDIS-registered providers.
