Can Home Assist Secure Pay for Your Gutter Cleaning?

It does. The government's page lists yard and outside maintenance (opens in a new tab) among the jobs it helps pay for, “for example, pruning branches or cleaning gutters.” The money goes toward labour, and your local provider checks the job at a home visit before any work starts.

We're not a Home Assist Secure provider. If you don't qualify, or you'd rather book privately, our gutter cleaning service is there for that. It's a private job, quoted on its own.

We read the program page on 29 October 2026. The government last updated it on 9 June 2026. Rules like these change, so check the page again before you apply.

The page doesn't give a way to pick your own. It says your provider does the work with its own staff or a local tradesperson. If you've got someone in mind, ask your provider at the home visit.

The program helps in one more way. If you're 60 or older or have a disability, the program also gives free advice and “referrals to reputable tradespeople and community services who may be able to carry out the work you require.” That's open to you even if you don't qualify for the money.

If you'd rather pick the crew yourself, book a clean with us as a private job. We quote every clean on its own, and you'll have the price before we start. Tell us how many storeys your home has, so we turn up ready for the height.

Look at the federal aged care programs next. If you're 65 or older, the Commonwealth Home Support Program (opens in a new tab) may help with jobs around the house. You apply through My Aged Care, and an aged care assessment comes first. Call them on 1800 200 422.

Their home maintenance service (opens in a new tab) lists gardening and help with home maintenance and repairs. It doesn't name gutters, so ask your assessor. It also leaves out “professional gardening services, such as tree lopping”, and jobs that are someone else's to do, like a landlord's.

There's also Support at Home, which My Aged Care says is “designed for those with more complex and intensive care needs.” On the Commonwealth Home Support Program, you're expected to chip in if you can afford it, and each provider sets its own prices.

If none of it fits, we clean gutters across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast. We're family-owned for over 25 years, fully insured, and the quote is free.

If the climb worries you, that worry counts. Home Assist Secure itself treats “health and safety risks” as a reason you can't do the work yourself. Its free advice for people 60 and over covers home safety, “including falls prevention”.

Our guide on whether gutter cleaning is dangerous goes through the hospital research on ladder falls in Queensland. It's worth a read before your next go at the gutters.
