Our HomeCare Services

Community Nursing

Our community nurses can prepare a suitable care plan to meet individual healthcare needs including assistance with medication management; information and support in managing chronic disease; continence care; post-surgical, acute, or palliative care; wound and skin care; and illness prevention education.

Personal Care

Our professional carers can provide assistance with daily "self care" tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, getting in and out of bed and moving around the home.

Domestic Assistance

We can provide assistance with those day-to-day activities such as cleaning, laundry, dishwashing, bed-making, shopping, bill paying and meal preparation.

Transport

Getting to and from appointments, social functions and family visits is made easier with the help of our trained care workers and volunteers.

Home Visits and Social Support

Whether it's for a chat or an outing, our trained care workers and volunteers can provide social support and companionship, helping you to maintain valuable social contact and avoid isolation.

Home Safety

Our team can conduct a safety assessment and identify minor modifications to help you avoid potential hazards and prevent falls and accidents.

Transitional Care

The transition from home to residential care can be difficult. That's why we offer a support service to make the step a little less stressful.

Home-Based Respite

We recognise that carers of people with special healthcare needs require support and assistance. That's why our home-based respite service is so valuable. Available for a few hours or a few days, our trained carers can do the caring so you can relax, catch up with friends, go shopping or do those things you never find the time to do.

How much does it cost?

The cost of HomeCare services varies depending on each client's eligibility for a range of government funded programs, including Community Aged Care Packages (CACP), Home and Community Care (HACC), DVA Community Nursing and Veterans Home Care.

Most services require a minimal co-payment; however, if clients are financially disadvantaged, co-payments may be reduced or waived. Those who do not meet the eligibility criteria for Government-funded programs are still able to obtain HomeCare services on a fee-for-service basis.
