What is a Home Care Package?
A Home Care Package is a type of government funding to help you remain living independently at home for longer. It is provided by the Australian Government to help people aged 65 years and over to obtain the in-home care and support they need to stay living safely and independently in their own home for as long as possible.
This means you are given funding to help cover the cost of your coordinated care plan and you decide how it is allocated. This approach gives you more choice and flexibility about the types of services and supports you need and want.
Home Care Packages are available for:
Anyone who needs coordinated care and support to remain living in their own home.
Younger people with a disability, dementia or other special needs that cannot be met through other specialist services.
There are no minimum age requirements for this package; however it is not available to visitors to Australia or people requiring temporary or short-term care. |
