What is the first step?

If you’re looking for government-funded home care, the first step is to contact My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or visit myagedcare.gov.au. They can help determine your eligibility and arrange an aged care assessment.

If the process feels overwhelming, we’re here to help. Our team can answer your questions, explain your options and guide you through the next steps.

How do I know which home care option is right for me?

The right home care option depends on your age, care needs, eligibility and personal circumstances. Whether you’re looking for support through Support at Home, CHSP, HACC PYP, DVA services or private care, our team can help you understand your options and find the service that best suits your needs.

What types of support can I receive at home?

Our services are designed to help you maintain your independence, wellbeing and quality of life at home. Depending on your needs, support may include personal care, domestic assistance, nursing, meals, transport, social support, respite care and home maintenance.

How much home care support can I receive?

The amount of support you receive will depend on your needs and the type of funding you’re eligible for. Support can range from occasional assistance with everyday tasks through to daily care and 24-hour live-in support. We’ll work with you to create a personalised plan that provides the right level of support for your circumstances.
