Funding Options

Private Funding

Here’s what you need to know about paying for your care privately.

How it works
When you pay for your in home care privately, we charge an hourly rate for most of our services. We customise our care to your individual situation, so you only pay for as much or as little care as you want, and you’re never locked into a contract. In many cases, our clients receive some government funding as well as paying for care privately. This lets you ‘top up’ your government funded care for a bit of extra support and comfort when you need it. We charge the same hourly rates for government funded and privately funded care, so it’s easy to manage if you need a bit of both. You may be eligible for government funding if you don’t currently receive any in-home care. Every situation is unique and we can help you assess the right amount of care for you.

We offer discounted rates for overnight or 24 hour care. Rates apply to care from a qualified personal caregiver. Nursing care rates differ. Please contact us to discuss your needs.

Terms and conditions apply.

Government Funded Care

In-home care subsidised by the government. Here’s what you need to know about government funding programs for in-home care. The Australian Government provides funding to ensure everyone is able to enjoy a good quality of life, regardless of your age or ability. Depending on your circumstance, you may be eligible for one of these programs.

Home Care Packages
The Home Care Package program is designed to help people continue living at home independently and safely. The goal is to provide the care and support you need in your own home so you can stay there comfortably. When you receive a Home Care Package, the government allocates funds for your care which are paid to the service provider of your choice.

How do I know if I’m eligible?
You will need to have your eligibility for a Home Care Package assessed by the Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS). They will consider your unique circumstances and treat every case individually. You need to get in touch with the government’s My Aged Care service. They will organise a care assessment with you, and this will determine what kind of government support you are entitled to. We can also refer you if you would like. If you aren’t currently eligible for government funding, you can still access home care services and pay for them privately. In the future you may be able to have your eligibility reassessed. If you find that you require more care than your Home Care Package funding allows, you can pay for additional care privately. If your needs have increased since you were allocated a Home Care Package, you can ask to be re-assessed for a higher level package.

How to get your eligibility assessed
Step 1
Get in touch with the government’s My Aged Care service. They will help you get set up and will organise your eligibility assessment with you. We can also refer you and help you get set up if you would like.

Step 2
You will need an assessment in your home to determine your eligibility for government funded in-home care. This will be organised through My Aged Care.

Step 3
Even if you’re eligible for a Home Care Package, you may need to pay a contribution to your funding amount if your income is above a certain amount, currently around $27,000.
