Same cleaning. Same houses. $60.10 an hour instead of $30.
If that's you, here it is straight: what the work actually involves, what it pays, what it costs to set up, and how to start — from someone running the same business, part-time, in regional Tasmania.
1. The official rate for household tasks is $60.10 an hour
That's the published NDIS price limit for cleaning and other household activities — versus the rate a cleaning company pays you.
2. The work is more than cleaning
You'd be helping someone stay in their own home, and that changes how the job feels.
3. Regular clients, not one-off jobs
A weekly routine with local people who value you, rather than a rotating list.
4. No new equipment
The skills and the kit you already have, plus insurance and an ABN.
5. A clear path
How to set yourself up, what to charge, and what the paperwork actually looks like.
Where to go next
Being straight with you. The hourly figures on this page are the billing rates from the official NDIS Pricing Schedule — the most that can be charged for that support. They're gross revenue, not take-home. Insurance, tax, super, travel and your own time all come out of it. And the income examples are Cathy's real numbers, not a promise about yours.
The free training is below — it's the honest version of how this works, in plain language, with nothing to buy at the end.
