How it usually works
- Starting with the biggest safety risks, like blocked exits or trip hazards
- Working one small area at a time
- You decide what stays and what goes
- Sorting items to keep, donate, recycle or throw away
- Building routines to keep on top of it
- Working alongside your therapist, if you have one
When it’s funded
The NDIS may fund decluttering support where your disability, like hoarding disorder or another psychosocial disability, makes it hard to keep your home safe. It’s usually linked to safety and building skills, not a one-off clean-out. Talk to your planner, LAC or support coordinator about whether it fits your plan.Who provides decluttering?
