Aged care cleaning across Darwin. Smurfettes provides household cleaning for older people who want help at home. Tell us which rooms and tasks matter most, whether you want regular help or a one-off clean, and your preferred timing. We will confirm the agreed work, written price and an available appointment before booking.
Household cleaning for Darwin residents
Ask for help with kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, bedrooms, floors or laundry. Tell us about any mobility or access needs, product sensitivities, pets and items to leave alone. We aim to arrange the same cleaner for repeat visits where possible. Your aged-care provider or authorised contact can help review any funding arrangement for the proposed tasks.
Darwin and other Northern Territory services
Smurfettes provides household cleaning across Darwin and around Australia. For other Northern Territory services, see our Palmerston guide for the Darwin region or our Alice Springs guide for Central Australia. Tell us your address and preferred timing so we can confirm an available appointment.
How aged care cleaning is funded
Support at Home can include domestic assistance such as cleaning and laundry when it is part of your assessed and approved services. Your aged-care provider should confirm the tasks, budget and service agreement. Contributions for everyday living services, including cleaning, depend on the service and your circumstances, including income and assets. Some people have protected contribution rates. Ask your provider to confirm your actual contribution.
The Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) is a separate pathway for entry-level support, with its own assessment and contribution arrangements. Contact My Aged Care about assessment and approved services. Smurfettes can quote the cleaning work, but a quote does not confirm funding or your out-of-pocket cost. Confirm any funded arrangement with your aged-care provider before booking.

What to discuss before the visit
- Tasks and routine: Tell us your priorities, visit frequency and preferred timing so the quote describes the agreed work.
- Products and access: Tell us about allergies, sensitivities, pets, mobility equipment and areas or items to leave alone. We can discuss suitable products and precautions. Do not move heavy or unsafe items to prepare for the clean.
- Privacy: Keep keys, access codes and full care documents out of your first enquiry. Arrange necessary details securely with the office.
Frequently asked questions
Who provides the cleaning products and equipment?
Confirm who will supply the agreed equipment and products before booking. Tell us about product preferences, allergies or sensitivities so suitable precautions can be discussed. If you prefer products already at your property, ask the office to confirm the arrangements.
How long does a clean need to be, and what if I need to cancel?
We will confirm the tasks, visit length, written price and an available appointment before booking. For cancellation or changes, check our published Terms and Conditions and any applicable service agreement. Contact the office promptly if your plans change.
What should I check before booking a cleaner?
Discuss the proposed cleaner, access arrangements and any required screening or insurance evidence with the office before booking. Tell us about privacy, communication or safety needs so these can be considered in the agreed work.
Can seniors get help paying for cleaning?
Private bookings are available. Funded cleaning may also be possible when it is part of assessed and approved aged-care services. Support at Home and CHSP have different arrangements. Confirm the tasks, provider arrangements and any contribution with your aged-care provider before booking. A Smurfettes quote does not approve funding.
