Domestic assistance

Domestic assistance is practical support with everyday household tasks so you can stay comfortable, safe, and independent at home. Kanda’s professional and trustworthy care team can help with regular chores while keeping you active and involved in your routine. It is ideal if cleaning and laundry are becoming harder to manage, or if you want a little extra support to maintain a liveable home.

Kanda’s domestic assistance services include mopping, sweeping, and vacuuming floors, light dusting and wiping down surfaces, washing, folding, and ironing laundry, and making your bed. Support is tailored to what you need, whether that is ongoing help or assistance while you build confidence to manage tasks yourself.

The frequency depends on your needs, goals, and funding. Some people choose a weekly clean and laundry support, while others organise help fortnightly or during recovery after illness or hospital. Kanda works with you to plan services that fit your routine and keep things manageable at home. To discuss what is right for you, start here.

Yes. Domestic assistance should reflect what matters most to you. Kanda will work with you to prioritise tasks like floors, surfaces, laundry, and bed making, based on what you want help with and what you prefer to do yourself. This keeps you involved in your day to day routine while taking the pressure off the harder jobs.

Domestic assistance supports household tasks like cleaning and laundry, while personal care supports your daily self care needs, such as showering and dressing. Many people use both together for a more complete support plan. You can learn more about Kanda’s personal care services here
