Private Care
What is private home care?
If you’re looking for additional home care support, or you’re not eligible for a government-funded care package, we can provide personalised support – as little or as much as you need – through private care.
This is often called ‘fee for service’ and means we will invoice you directly for the care we deliver to you.
Am I eligible?
We offer private care to people who would like to access some support to stay living at home.
Self-funded care is a popular option if you:
Are not eligible for government-funded aged care.
Are a self-funded retiree who needs to pay the full income tested care fee to access a Home Care Package.
Are on the wait list for a Home Care Package but would like to receive some services straight away.
