Home Maintenance
& Repairs

Under the government’s Support at Home program, home maintenance and repairs fall under the Everyday Living service category. These services are designed to keep your home and garden safe and liveable as your mobility or functional capacity changes. Maintenance and repairs services generally cover minor, non-structural tasks that help older Australians maintain independence like those listed below.

Safety Checks & Minor Repairs – Replacing lightbulbs, repairing broken door handles, or fixing minor plumbing issues like leaky taps

Essential Maintenance – Cleaning gutters, replacing smoke alarm batteries, and installing basic safety items

Light Gardening – Mowing lawns, trimming overgrown branches, and clearing yards to ensure safe access and pathways

Accessibility Needs – Ensuring high-traffic areas are free from trip hazards
