About Us

Decluttering Diva was established in 2013 by Kristina Duke, expert Professional Organiser, and specialises in working with clients with chronic disorganisation issues, ADHD and/or Hoarding tendencies. Kristina leads her team who perform predominantly in-home decluttering and organising service for clients.

Decluttering Diva’s Professional Organising services include but are not limited to personalised onsite needs assessment, physical sorting/ decluttering of items with client, expert advice and application of organising solutions for the client’s space.

Decluttering Diva’s fees include complimentary garbage bags, basic labelling, disposal of items reserved for charity and use of the Decluttering Diva trailer for rubbish removal. Decluttering Diva can purchase any additional items required to create customised organisation solutions, with prior permission by the client, at the client’s expense (e.g. containers, hangers etc.) or through NDIS funding (if allowed)

All members of the Decluttering Diva team (including approved subcontractors) have a valid NSW Police Check, WWC certificate and are covered by PI & PL Insurance.

It is essential that the client is present for sessions unless discussed prior and agreed upon by both parties.

Fees and Charges

The hourly rate is applied to work done at Client’s site. Additional time spent disposing of ONE (1) carload of charity donations is included in the onsite rate.  The current standard rate for Decluttering Diva’s professional services is as per the current NDIS guidelines. Additional staff are charged at the same rate.

Any additional time spent by Service Provider, either to dispose of additional unwanted items, assistance with selling of items, research/ purchase/delivery of organising solutions, or other, will be negotiated with Client as required.
