Aged care cleaning for Palmerston seniors

We shape the clean around what helps you stay comfortable and independent at home, not a fixed set of tasks. Whether it is a regular fortnightly clean or a deeper one-off, we work to what your Veterans’ Home Care plan allows, keeping you with the same cleaner where we can.

What our Palmerston cleaners can help with

• Kitchens: benches, sinks, stovetops, splashbacks and floors
• Bathrooms and toilets: sanitising showers, tiles, mirrors and fixtures
• Living areas and bedrooms: dusting, vacuuming, mopping and tidying
• Laundry help: washing, drying, folding and changing linen
• Regular domestic assistance and one-off deep cleans

How aged care cleaning is funded

For older Australians, help with household cleaning can be funded by the Australian Government. Since November 2025, the Support at Home program (which replaced Home Care Packages) funds domestic assistance, including cleaning and laundry, as part of everyday living support. Entry-level help is also available through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP). Your eligibility and funding level are assessed through My Aged Care, and some everyday living services attract a small participant contribution. Smurfette’s Cleaning works with home care clients, so if you are eligible we can help arrange the service.
