NDIS Core Supports
Core Supports cover the day-to-day. They are the most flexible part of an NDIS plan, funding household tasks, personal assistance, transport, consumables, and community participation.
What is in NDIS Core Supports?
There are four Core Supports categories. Spot On actively delivers in two of them, Assistance with Daily Life, and Assistance with Social and Community Participation. We list all four below so you can see how your plan fits together.
Category 1

Support with everyday tasks at home, house cleaning, laundry, yard maintenance, meal preparation, and personal care.
What Spot On delivers
- House cleaning and household tasks, kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, laundry. Ongoing weekly/fortnightly, one-off deep cleans, and end-of-tenancy cleans. See our house cleaning and NDIS cleaning pages for the operational detail.
