Home Care Packages

Client

Directed Care

You choose the

Home Care Provider!

In 2017 the Commonwealth Government brought about

a National Health Care Reform

 and introduced the Consumer Directed - Home Care Packages 

A home care subsidisation program!


Putting older Australians in the drivers seat!


Whether you need a little support or comprehensive care, our compassionate care staff will support you from the comfort of your own home.

How it works

One step at a time.

  1. Home Care Packages are assigned to YOU not the provider.
  2. YOU choose which provider YOU like, then partner with them to help YOU manage the care YOU need. 
  3. If YOU are not happy with the provider YOU can end the contract and take any unspent funding with YOU and change to a reliable, affordable, friendly and creditable home care provider, like Carealot.


PLEASE shop around as there are an array of providers with a range of fees and experience.... Some are new comers to the industry while others such as Carealot have assisted 1000's of families for over 24 years.
