NDIS Packing, Unpacking and General Cleaning Services: Supporting Safe Transitions in 2026

Packing, unpacking, and cleaning are often the most physically and emotionally demanding parts of a relocation. For NDIS participants and other supported clients, these tasks can quickly become overwhelming without the right help in place.

Moving Solutions Australia supports NDIS participants, DVA clients, Aged Care and Home Care recipients, Public Trustee clients, and the general public by coordinating packing, unpacking, and general cleaning services as part of a well-managed relocation process.

As a result, clients do not need to organise or communicate with multiple suppliers themselves.


Why Packing and Cleaning Support Matters Under the NDIS

Packing and cleaning are not just practical tasks. In many situations, they directly impact a participant’s:

  • Safety

  • Wellbeing

  • Stress levels

  • Ability to transition smoothly

Because of this, these supports are often considered when a relocation forms part of a participant’s broader goals.

However, like all NDIS supports, packing, unpacking, and cleaning are assessed on a case-by-case basis and must be appropriate and needed for the individual.


Packing and Unpacking Support Explained

Packing and unpacking can be physically demanding and emotionally draining, especially during periods of change.

For example, participants may struggle with:

  • Lifting and carrying items

  • Organising belongings

  • Decision-making during transitions

  • Fatigue or anxiety around moving

In these cases, packing and unpacking support can help create a safer and calmer experience.

At Moving Solutions Australia, we coordinate packing and unpacking services, ensuring the right support is in place at the right time and that everything follows a clear plan.


General Cleaning Support During Relocation

General cleaning often forms part of a relocation, either before leaving a property or when settling into a new one.

This may include:

  • Basic internal cleaning

  • Kitchen and bathroom cleaning

  • Preparing a property for handover

  • Making a new home ready for move-in

Importantly, cleaning support is not the same as a commercial bond clean. Instead, it focuses on maintaining a safe and tidy living environment, depending on the participant’s situation and funding approval.


How These Services Fit Into Relocation Management

Packing, unpacking, and cleaning rarely happen in isolation.

As a result, they work best when coordinated as part of a broader Relocation Management plan.

Moving Solutions Australia:

  • Plans services in the correct order

  • Coordinates approved providers

  • Manages timing and access

  • Acts as the single point of contact

This means participants, families, and support teams do not need to manage multiple bookings or suppliers.


Funding Considerations and Honest Conversations

It is important to understand that NDIS funding may not always cover every aspect of packing or cleaning.

Funding decisions depend on:

  • The participant’s goals

  • Their support needs

  • Whether the support is considered appropriate and needed

Because of this, early conversations help clarify:

  • What may be funded

  • What may require private contribution

  • How to plan realistically and avoid surprises


Supporting More Than Just NDIS Participants

While this support is commonly used by NDIS participants, we also coordinate packing and cleaning services for:

  • DVA clients

  • Aged Care and Home Care recipients

  • Public Trustee and guardian-managed clients

  • Families and the general public

In every case, our approach stays the same — one team coordinating everything from start to finish.
