Home Care Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is Home Care?
We understand there’s no place like home. That’s why we offer a wide range of in-home aged care services so you or your loved one can remain living independently at home. From making daily tasks easier with transport to the shops, cooking or cleaning to improving health and wellness, clinical services and more, we’re here to help you maintain your lifestyle at home for longer.
Home Care Services (also commonly referred to as in-home care) can be Government subsidised under either the Commonwealth Home Specific Programme (CHSP) for basic level care, or Home Care Packages (HCP) for multiple or more complex requirements. -
What will it cost?
The cost of aged care is different for every individual and is determined by the Australian Government based on your financial situation -please see their handy fee estimator calculator at https://www.myagedcare.gov.au/how-much-will-i-pay.

Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands on which we live, work, and dream. We pay our respects to the Wallumedegal People. To their Indigenous Elders past and present, for they hold the traditions, culture, and hopes of their people as we journey towards reconciliation. We acknowledge that they have occupied and cared for these lands and waterways over countless generations. It always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
