Home Care Packages

Home Assist Community Services partners with individuals to coordinate a tailored package of care and services that align with their assessed needs, goals, and preferences, allowing them to remain living at home for as long as possible. The Home Care Package Program supports older Australians with complex ageing-related care needs through a consumer-directed approach, helping them maintain their independence and capabilities as they age. These packages provide coordinated care and services within the individual’s home care budget and the program’s scope, ensuring support is personalised and respectful of each person’s circumstances. The program offers a government-subsidised package, with additional supplements available for eligible individuals, to deliver the necessary care, services, and management required to meet their assessed needs. With four package levels available, the program caters to varying levels of care needs, ensuring people can safely remain in their homes for as long as it is appropriate.
