Frequently asked questions
Domestic assistance can include lawn or garden care when it is medically supported, reasonably necessary because of the workplace injury and approved in the insurer’s care plan.
Workers compensation domestic assistance is the current terminology. Some people still search for WorkCover gardening, so we mention the older generic term without presenting it as the current NSW authority.
No. The responsible insurer must approve the service and care plan before claim-funded gardening begins.

Great service by Nicholas. Whilst the job is not yet done ... chances are I will be using their service on an ongoing basis. I like the fact they are hiring people with a disability. Well done.
