Yard maintenance is a funded support. Same mower. Your name on the invoice.
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. $59.01 an hour for house or yard maintenance
That's the published NDIS price limit — real, funded, and the same work you already do.
2. Stop competing on the cheapest quote
You're billing a scheduled rate, not winning jobs by undercutting the next bloke.
3. Mix the work up
Outdoor maintenance alongside transport, errands and company for local clients.
4. Your name on the invoice
Long-term relationships with local families instead of one-off jobs.
5. The setup, step by step
ABN, insurance, checks, and how to take on funded clients.
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.
