For participants in St Marys, household tasks should fit the way the week already works, not the other way around. Allied Healthcare Services Australia is a registered NDIS provider offering NDIS household tasks in St Marys and related supports across Penrith City Council.
Household Tasks is funded from Assistance with Daily Life, a Core Supports category. Whatever the category, what matters day to day is that the support turns up, the person delivering it knows what they are doing, and the arrangement can change when your circumstances do. That is the standard we work to in St Marys.
How Household Tasks works for St Marys participants
Here is what we actually deliver under household tasks in St Marys:
Not every participant needs all of this. The point of the first conversation is working out which parts matter for you.
- Rubbish and recycling
- Light garden maintenance where funded
- Support to build household skills over time
- Cleaning and general tidying
- Laundry and linen changes
Supporting participants across St Marys
St Marys is a working town centre with a long retail strip along Queen Street, serving Oxley Park, Colyton, Werrington and North St Marys. The centre of activity is Queen Street, with St Marys Village and the Queen Street shops as the main retail focus, and St Marys Station on the Main Western Line. Local roads that matter for getting around include the Great Western Highway, the M4 Motorway, Forrester Road.
Accessibility is not an abstraction here. St Marys Station has lift access to both platforms, and Queen Street runs directly off the station forecourt. Locally we often support participants to get to Ripples St Marys leisure centre, Coachmans Park, St Marys Memorial Park and Coachmans Park and the South Creek corridor.
Worth knowing before you arrange anything here — St Marys is the interchange being built for the Sydney Metro line to Western Sydney International Airport, which will change local transport options considerably for participants who travel to work or study.
Many St Marys participants have regular appointments at Nepean Hospital at Kingswood. Where that is the case, we would build the roster around those dates from the start.
Doing the task with you can be funded instead of doing it for you
There are two legitimate models. A worker can complete household tasks on a participant’s behalf, or a worker can do them alongside the participant to build skill and confidence over time. The second sits more naturally with Capacity Building goals and is often the better answer for a younger participant or someone moving towards living independently. It usually takes longer per session, which is worth accounting for when estimating hours.
In St Marys specifically, this tends to matter because St Marys is the interchange being built for the Sydney Metro line to Western Sydney International Airport, which will change local transport options considerably for participants who travel to work or study. Raising it early, before a support arrangement is locked in, is far easier than unpicking it later.
How this looks in practice in St Marys
An illustrative example rather than a real case: a participant whose previous provider kept cancelling shifts, in St Marys. What matters first is not which services are available but which parts of the week are currently unsustainable.
What helps them most is usually one longer visit rather than several short ones, with the shopping, the cooking and the laundry handled together.
Our approach is to get one thing reliably right before adding to it, because a support arrangement that collapses is worse than a smaller one that does not.

St Marys NDIS questions we are asked most
Do you provide household tasks across all of St Marys?
Yes. We support participants throughout St Marys and the neighbouring Penrith Area suburbs. St Marys is roughly 47 km west of the Sydney CBD, and our workers are based locally rather than travelling out from the inner city, which is what makes a regular weekly arrangement realistic here.
Can you support me to get to appointments in St Marys?
Yes. Nepean Hospital at Kingswood is where a lot of local appointments sit, and we regularly support participants to attend there and at community facilities including Ripples St Marys leisure centre, Coachmans Park. St Marys Station has lift access to both platforms, and Queen Street runs directly off the station forecourt.
