Home Based Care
As you age, there are things you just can’t do like you used to… carrying heavy laundry, driving, cleaning the gutters, and caring for the garden. Even though you’re happy at home, you can’t do all the tasks that were once easy.
Our in-home care can help you maintain freedom and dignity, while assisting you with your needs. Our packages help ease those day-to-day burdens and maximise quality of life. Like-family help, that transforms your days.
Let’s tailor a care plan...
There are eight levels of care – the higher your level, the more care needs we can provide. The following services are available under Support at Home:
Personal Care
Bathing, grooming, dressing, fitting sensory communication aids, mobility, and other difficult to manage tasks.
Domestic Work
Laundry, cleaning, ironing, gardening, basic home maintenance, and modifications (related to care needs), organising tradespeople, lawn mowing, rubbish removal, and yard up-keep.
Meals
Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet is essential to living well. We can assist with food preparation (for cooking lovers), making the meals, and eating support.
Errands and Transport
Food shopping, picking up medications, doctor appointments, clinical care, and transport to social events.
Health & Nursing Aid
Stay active with the support of health services such as podiatry, occupational therapy, and dieticians. A registered nurse can perform regular check-ups.
The cost of home care
The Australian Government covers most of the cost for your home care,
but you may be required to give out-of-pocket contributions depending
on the services you have and your pension status. If you are a full
pensioner, your maximum out-of-pocket cost is 17.5%.
An income and assets assessment determines the contribution an individual makes and varies based on their financial and personal circumstances. Services Australia calculates the cost with the income assessment form. Completing an income and assets assessment isn't mandatory. However, if you choose not to complete one, you can be asked to pay the maximum contribution rate. Please note that your contribution rate can change.
If you were assessed for aged care on or before 12 September 2024,
then you are not required to pay contributions unless you were already
doing so before Support at Home begun on 1 November 2025.

Seeking in-home care is a relief and a liberation. Our care is about helping seniors do more of what you enjoy, in the safety of family-like company.
