To request a quote, tell us the exact street address, rooms and tasks, how often you would like cleaning and your preferred timing. Include practical arrival details such as parking, stairs, a lift or shared entry. Keep keys and entry codes out of your first message; arrange any necessary access details securely later. We assess the requested tasks, practical access, current cleaner capacity and preferred timing, then agree the written scope, price and appointment before confirming a booking.
Choose the domestic cleaning priorities
The exact list is agreed before the visit. Depending on the written quote, the discussion may include:
- a recurring core list with a separately agreed rotating priority
- kitchen benches, sinks and agreed external surfaces
- bathrooms and toilets listed in the written scope
- vacuuming or mopping in named rooms
Scope boundary: The agreed service should identify rooms, reachable surfaces and exclusions. A cleaner should not expand the work, time or price from a verbal assumption when the authorised person has not approved the change.
Mark private, fragile or excluded areas
You can identify rooms that are out of scope, fragile items that should not be touched and personal belongings that should stay in place. These instructions belong in the practical service brief.
If another household member has separate cleaning needs, do not assume those tasks are part of this enquiry. Ask for the participant’s requested work to be described clearly in the quote.
Use the first quote to set a workable scope
For a first enquiry, the number of bedrooms alone is not enough. The useful details are the rooms requested, current priorities, preferred frequency, access and any task that may need separate assessment.
Once those details are understood, the written quote can state what is included. Future visits can then be discussed against that agreed starting point rather than a generic checklist.
Name who can approve a service change
Identify whether the participant or another authorised contact can change tasks, time or price. Include the preferred contact method without sharing information unrelated to the cleaning service.
When the authorised person cannot be reached, the cleaner should remain within the written scope. A general instruction from someone else in the home does not automatically revise the quote.
Plan entry and access before the visit
Share practical access details that affect the appointment: the correct entrance, stairs or lift, parking limits, gate or intercom instructions and who will be present. Only provide information needed to arrange and deliver the service.
If entry depends on another person or an access arrangement, identify the authorised contact and the preferred way to confirm arrival. This reduces uncertainty without assuming that access is the same for every visit.
Keep provider registration and funding separate
Whether household cleaning can be paid from a participant’s NDIS funding depends on the participant’s disability-related support needs, their plan and current NDIS requirements. A quote or booking does not confirm funding. Keep ordinary household expenses, repairs and work for other residents separate from the participant’s proposed household-cleaning scope. Describe any tenancy-purpose work on a distinct scope with its tasks, price and records. Exit cleaning and tenancy work are generally excluded from NDIS funding. Limited transitional arrangements can apply to some existing plans. Check the proposed work with your NDIS contact before booking; private work can be quoted separately. If you also need routine disability-related household cleaning around a move, describe those tasks separately and ask the participant or authorised funding contact to check them against the plan before booking. For invoice arrangements, self-managed participants or authorised nominees can provide their billing details, while plan-managed participants can provide the plan manager’s invoice details. Check individual funding and payment questions with the participant’s plan manager, support coordinator or NDIS contact before booking.
