ABOUT My Aged Care and Home Care Packages

My Aged Care provides funding through Home Care Packages to older Australians to assist with accessing affordable care services to get some help at home. They are designed for those with more complex care needs that go beyond what the Commonwealth Home Support Programme can provide.

​

Home Care Packages can be an option if you need a coordinated approach to the delivery of your help at home - perhaps because you need help with many everyday tasks, or the care you need is more complex or intensive.

​

Home Care Packages can provide assistance with bathing, hygiene and grooming to help you maintain personal hygiene and grooming standards, nursing to help treat and monitor medical conditions at home, allied health (podiaty, physiotherapy and other therapies), meals and food preparation and help with impairments and incontinence, 

​

Other services available include cleaning, laundry and other chores, home maintenance, modification and gardening, aids to stay independent, transportation, social outings, groups activities and visitors.

​

Home Care Packages also provide access to day/night respite to support you and your carer by giving you both a break for a short period of time and other care or services that are required to meet your needs, improve health and wellbeing, remain safe and independent in your home and considered an acceptable use of government funds.
