Start the room checklist or use the NDIS cleaning scope worksheet for a complete enquiry outline.
This NDIS room-by-room cleaning checklist is a task inventory, not a promise that every item will fit one visit. Print it or copy the relevant sections, mark only the indoor rooms to be assessed and rank essential work. Funding, provider capacity, exact timing and assessment-only requests must be confirmed separately.
1. Set the checklist boundary
Service address to provide privately: ______________________________________________
Participant or authorised contact: _________________________________________________
Rooms included: _______________________________________________________________
Rooms that must not be entered: __________________________________________________
Use E for essential, I for important, O for optional and X for do not touch. The task-list guide explains how to choose that order.
2. Bathroom and ensuite
- [ ] agreed basin and surrounding standard surfaces

Bedroom included: 1 / 2 / 3 / another agreed room: _________________________________
- [ ] suitable floor vacuumed or mopped
- [ ] safely reachable surface dusting or wiping
- [ ] agreed household bin
- [ ] another accepted standard task: __________________________________________

6. Living and dining areas
- [ ] suitable floors
- [ ] safely reachable agreed surfaces
- [ ] agreed household bins
- [ ] indoor movement route kept clear
- [ ] another accepted task: _________________________________________________

- [ ] internal entry surface included in the scope
Stairs, thresholds, lifts or mobility notes: ___________________________________________
Exterior paths, yards, gardens and building maintenance are outside this indoor checklist.
8. Additional indoor room
Room name: __________________________________________________________________
Essential task: _________________________________________________________________
Important task: _________________________________________________________________
Optional task: __________________________________________________________________
Do-not-touch instruction: _________________________________________________________
Add only a room that the provider has been asked to assess. A blank line does not expand the accepted scope.
9. Flag assessment-only work
- [ ] heavy build-up
- [ ] internal glass
- [ ] appliance interior
- [ ] cupboard interior
- [ ] fragile, unfamiliar or delicate surface
- [ ] another indoor request requiring assessment: ______________________________
Marked work remains a question until the provider accepts it in writing. This checklist excludes gardening, exterior work, repairs, handyman tasks, personal care, transport, meal preparation, dishes, organising, decluttering, packing, moving items, clinical cleaning, mould remediation, biohazard work and pest treatment.
10. Separate shared-household work
Participant’s private rooms: _______________________________________________________
Agreed common rooms: __________________________________________________________
Participant-related work requested in common rooms: _________________________________
Another resident’s private work excluded: __________________________________________
A shared address does not turn the participant’s request into an unbounded whole-house service.
11. Create the final priority line
- Essential room and task: __________________________________________________
- Essential room and task: __________________________________________________
- Essential room and task: __________________________________________________
- Important work after essentials: ____________________________________________
- Optional work only if agreed capacity remains: _________________________________
Ask the provider to quote this order. If the list is larger than the proposed visit, decide which items move to another visit rather than leaving the choice unstated.
12. Attach the inventory to a complete enquiry
Add the exact address, preferred days, frequency options, access arrangement, pets, product sensitivities, authorised contact and billing pathway using the NDIS cleaning scope worksheet. Then copy the necessary details into the quote request template.
Do not place portal passwords, bank details, reusable access codes or unrelated medical information on a room checklist.
Check the official context
The NDIA says funding may only be used for NDIS supports related to disability and in line with the participant’s plan. Core supports can include everyday tasks such as cleaning depending on the individual plan. Read the current pages on NDIS supports, Core supports and service agreements. These sources were reviewed on 4 September 2026.
Send the selected rooms for assessment
Email the exact address, marked rooms, priority order, assessment questions, access notes and timing choices to info@smurfettescleaningservice.net. Smurfettes can assess task fit, timing and current cleaner capacity before providing a written response. The checklist does not confirm a booking or NDIS funding.
