What's included
Meal planning, shopping, and cooking assistance at home.
On FindMyHelp you can compare providers who describe how they deliver meal preparation, their service area, and what a typical visit or engagement includes.
Funding and how to pay
Home support services are commonly funded through NDIS core supports (daily living and household tasks) and aged care programs including Support at Home and CHSP.
NDIS funding depends on your plan and whether the support is reasonable and necessary for your disability-related needs. Self-managed and plan-managed participants can often use registered or unregistered providers; NDIA-managed plans generally require NDIS-registered providers.
Aged care supports may be available through Support at Home or the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) for eligible clients. An assessment through My Aged Care determines what you can access.
How to compare providers
When comparing meal preparation providers:
- Ask about experience relevant to your situation and funding type
- Check service area, wait times, and staff continuity
- Confirm how they invoice NDIS, Support at Home, or private clients
- Compare how clearly they explain what is included in their service
