Funded and insured work

Insurance and rehabilitation cleaning

Cleaning that forms part of a claim or a rehabilitation plan. The coordinator sets the scope and the hours, we do the work and invoice the scheme, and the household is not asked for payment at the door.

What insurance and rehabilitation cleaning means in practice

In a claim or a rehabilitation plan, the cleaning is one line item in a larger arrangement someone else is managing. The coordinator sets the scope and the hours; we do the work and invoice the scheme. The household is never asked to pay at the door and never has to chase a reimbursement, which is the part that most often goes wrong when cleaning is arranged informally.

What the coordinator usually needs from a cleaning supplier is boring and specific: confirmation we cover the suburb, a start date we can actually hold, hours that match the approval, and an invoice that carries the claim reference so it can be reconciled without a phone call. We work to that rather than to a sales process.

The person in the home is often recovering, in pain, or managing a household with less capacity than usual. The visit is run accordingly — a fixed time, the same cleaner, no expectation that the place is tidied first, and no discussion of the claim itself, which is not our business and not the cleaner's.

Invoiced to the scheme, not the household

Nobody is asked for payment at the door and nobody chases a reimbursement. Every invoice carries the claim reference, the dates, the hours and the address so it reconciles without a phone call.

Hours matched to the approval

We work to the hours the coordinator approved. If the home needs more we say so and let the coordinator decide, rather than extending the visit and invoicing afterwards.

Availability confirmed before a date is set

Give us the suburb and the frequency and we confirm whether we have a cleaner on that run before the plan commits to a start date.

What is included

What the cleaner actually does

Every visit works through the same tasks in the same order, so nothing is skipped because the clock ran out. This is the standard scope for insurance and rehabilitation cleaning; anything beyond it is quoted before it is done.

  • Kitchen. Benches, sink, cooktop, splashback and appliance fronts cleaned, floor vacuumed and mopped, bin emptied and relined.

  • Bathrooms and toilet. Shower, screen, basin, taps, mirror and toilet cleaned throughout, floors mopped and left dry — a priority where someone's mobility is temporarily reduced.

  • Floors and walkways. Vacuuming and mopping with walkways kept clear, cords tucked away and mats put back flat, so the house is not harder to move through after we leave than before.

  • Dusting and surfaces. Sills, shelves and reachable surfaces dusted, touch points wiped, and cobwebs removed from cornices and corners.

  • Laundry and linen. Washing put on, hung out and folded, and linen changed where that is part of the approved hours.

  • Bins and rubbish. Bins emptied and relined, and kerb bins taken out and brought back in on collection day.

  • Hours that match the approval. We work to the hours the coordinator has approved rather than expanding the visit and invoicing for it afterwards. If the home needs more, we say so and let the coordinator decide.

  • An invoice built to be reconciled. Every invoice carries the claim reference, the visit dates, the hours and the address, so it can be matched against the approval without a follow-up call.

Not part of a standard visit

  • Personal care, clinical tasks or anything requiring a health qualification
  • Biohazard, trauma or forensic cleaning, which requires a specialist licensed operator
  • Building repairs, make-safe work, water extraction or structural drying
  • Mould remediation and pest treatment
  • Contents restoration, pack-out or storage
  • Any assessment or opinion about the claim itself

Who this is for

  • Rehabilitation coordinators arranging household support as part of a return-to-function plan
  • Claims managers who need cleaning delivered against an approved scope and invoiced to the scheme
  • Occupational therapists recommending domestic assistance during recovery
  • Households where someone is recovering and the usual routine has stopped

How it is arranged

  1. 1The coordinator sends us the approved scope and the claim reference.
  2. 2We confirm availability in the suburb before the plan commits to a date.
  3. 3We invoice the scheme directly.

What we will ask you

  • The approved scope and the hours, so the visit matches what has been authorised
  • The claim or file reference to carry on the invoice
  • The billing entity and the email the invoice should go to
  • The suburb and the start date, so we can confirm availability before the plan commits
  • Anything the cleaner should know about mobility, access or rooms that are off limits

We do not publish a rate for this work, because the rate depends on the arrangement rather than on us. Tell us the details and we will confirm what we can take on before anything is booked.

Where to next

Three ways to take this further

The cleaning is the same work whoever is paying for it. These are the three things people usually need next.

The room-by-room scope, useful for setting an approved scope that matches what actually gets done.

Book it privately instead

For household cleaning arranged directly rather than through a claim, at our standard published rate.

What we commit to on every clean

  • $20M public liability

    Carried on every clean, residential and commercial. Certificates of currency are available on request for building and strata managers.

  • Vetted and interviewed in person

    Every cleaner is interviewed face to face before they are put on a run, not signed up through an app.

  • Free re-clean if it is not right

    Tell us within 48 hours which areas fell short and we return and redo them at no charge, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

  • The same cleaner, and no lock-in

    You keep your cleaner wherever availability allows. Recurring bookings run visit to visit — skip, change frequency or stop with reasonable notice.

  • A two-hour arrival window

    Your cleaner confirms by SMS and email the day before with their name and your window, then again when they are on the way.

Not sure this is the right arrangement?

Send us the details of how the cleaning is being paid for and we will tell you what we can take on, before anything is booked.

Questions

Insurance and rehabilitation cleaning questions we are asked most

If the answer you need is not here, ask us directly — we would rather answer it before a booking than after one.

Do you invoice the scheme directly, or does the household pay first?+

We invoice the scheme directly. Nobody in the household is asked for payment at the door and nobody has to claim a reimbursement afterwards.

Can you confirm availability before we commit to a start date?+

Yes, and it is the first thing we check. Give us the suburb and the frequency and we will confirm whether we have a cleaner on that run before the plan commits to a date.

What goes on the invoice?+

The claim or file reference, the address, the visit dates and the hours, itemised so it reconciles against the approval without a follow-up call.

What if the home needs more than the approved hours?+

We tell the coordinator what we have observed and let them decide. We do not extend the visit and invoice for the extra time after the fact.

Do you handle biohazard or trauma cleaning?+

No. That work requires a specialist licensed operator and we will say so rather than take it on. We handle standard household cleaning.

Will the cleaner discuss the claim with the client?+

No. The cleaner is there to clean. Questions about the claim go back to the coordinator, which is fairer to everyone involved.

Reviews

What people say about the cleaning itself

The arrangement differs by who is paying. The standard of the clean does not.

Booked Tuesday, spotless by Thursday. Our cleaner Maree is an absolute legend — the place has never looked better.

End-of-lease clean got our full bond back, every cent. Agent said it was the cleanest handover she'd seen.

Two kids, two jobs, zero spare time. Cleaner at Door gave us our weekends back. Should've done it years ago.
