What is private home care?

Private care lets you receive home care above what can be provided within the Government-funded Commonwealth Home Support Programme or a Home Care Package. And if you’re waiting for a package allocation, we’ll discuss how we can support you in the meantime.

Our private home care is currently available in NSW, Victoria and Queensland. We’re always expanding our national care footprint, so please check our Location Finder for your nearest local office.

What if I’m still waiting on a subsidy?

Sometimes, approval wait times for a Government subsidy can be long. It all depends on the length of the national package queue. So to speed up how soon care is received, you can use our services now and we’ll assess if you still require Private Care services after the package is allocated.

And should your needs change over time, you’re welcome to readjust your services. For information on private home care fees and charges, download our guide.
