What is a Home Care Package?

A Home Care Package is a support program funded by the government that helps older Australians live independently in their own home. It provides different services designed to meet the person’s needs, such as help with showering, transport to appointments, help with the laundry and cleaning, exercise classes, and physiotherapy sessions. These services are provided by home carers and healthcare professionals with experience in home care.

The aim of a Home Care Package is to empower seniors to make choices about their care. This means recipients can customise their packages according to the level of care they are eligible for, and create a care plan that truly meets their needs. Your Home Care Package can also adapt as your needs do, providing ongoing assistance to help you stay at home for as long as possible. Accessing home care services can help prevent premature entry into an aged care facility, and ensure a continued connection with your local community. It can also help you stay close to your support network, and enjoy a great quality of life at home.

How much a Home Care Package costs varies, based on what your financial situation is, and the level of care you are approved for. The government provides funds for Home Care Package recipients, making it much more affordable to access quality care in your home. To cover the rest of the cost, you may need to make a contribution towards the care of your services. This is paid through the following fees:

  • A basic daily fee – set as a percentage of the age pension, this is a daily amount that you need to contribute towards the cost of your care.
  • An income-tested care fee – you may be asked to contribute a certain amount to the cost of your care, based on your financial situation. Your government subsidy will be reduced by the amount you are assessed as eligible to pay.
  • Any additional fees that are charged by your provider for their services.

Home Caring provides affordable home care packages in Geelong that are designed to use your government funding in the most cost-effective way possible. We’ll ensure that you only get the services you need, and make your package go as far as possible. To learn more about our support team, please get in touch with our customer support staff.

  • Help with personal care tasks
  • Meal preparation
  • Feeding and hydration (including PEG feeding)
  • Continence management and stoma support
  • Mobility assistance
  • Independent living aids and assistive technology
  • Domestic assistance to keep your home tidy

Need someone to provide a Home Care Package Level 2 in Geelong? Home Caring provides exceptional support from nurses and care workers who are local to your area. Enjoy quality support in your own home from a team you can trust. To learn more about our approach to aged care, please get in touch with our customer care team.

To be approved for a Home Care Package, you first need to complete an ACAT assessment, to determine whether it’s the best solution for your care needs. Applying for an assessment is relatively simple – go to the My Aged Care website and fill out the online form, or call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422. You’ll need your Medicare card handy and a form of ID, and you’ll also be asked questions about your living situation and care needs. You can also ask a friend or family member to apply on your behalf.

If you might be eligible for a Home Care Package, an ACAT member will give you call and arrange for a time to visit you for a face-to-face assessment. When they visit, the team member will chat to you about how you’re coping at home, any health issues you have, and what type of care might best suit your needs. You can also ask any questions that you may have, and learn about care services in your area. You don’t have to be assessed alone – you can have someone with you for support the whole team.

After your ACAT assessment, the team will decide whether you are eligible for a Home Care Package. If you have approved for one, you’ll receive a letter from My Aged Care that states what level you are approved for. You’ll then be placed in a national queue until your Home Care Package is available to you.

If you need to change providers at any time, whether you’re moving house or looking for someone who better meets your needs, notify your current provider and they’ll let you know the process. Just be sure to check any conditions in your service agreement, such as providing a notice period, or any exit fees that might apply.

The Australian Government has announced significant changes to the aged care system introducing the Support at Home program set to commence on 1 July 2025. This initiative aims to enhance support for older Australians enabling them to remain in their homes longer and receive more personalised care. Key Features of the Support at Home Program: • Reduced Wait Times: The program will shorten the waiting period for in-home aged care services ensuring timely assistance for those in need. • Tailored Support Levels: Support at Home introduces eight levels of ongoing care replacing the previous four, to better match individual needs. • No Caps on Cleaning and Gardening: Unlike previous programs there will be no annual caps on cleaning and gardening services allowing for more comprehensive support. • Care Management Cap: A 10% cap on care management costs will remain in place to maintain affordability. • Assistive Technology Access: The program will expedite access to assistive devices like walkers and wheelchairs enhancing mobility and independence. • Increased Support Funding: The maximum support level will rise from $61,000 to $78,000, providing more resources for those with complex needs. • Restorative and Allied Health Services: There will be a temporary funding boost for restorative and allied health services, aiding recovery and well-being. • Palliative Care Support: The program includes provisions for palliative care allowing older Australians to spend their final weeks at home surrounded by loved ones. Staged Implementation of Price Caps: Price caps on services will be phased in starting from 1 July 2026. For the first year providers will continue to set their own prices similar to the current Home Care Packages program. In early 2025, consultations will be held with older people, advocates, families, carers and the sector to ensure fair pricing and robust consumer protections during this transition. No Worse Off Principle: To protect existing Home Care Package recipients, the government has introduced the “No Worse Off” principle: • Grandfathering: Individuals approved for a Home Care Package as of 12 September 2024 will transition to the new system without financial disadvantage. • Fee Structure: If you were a full-rate pensioner paying no fees under your Home Care Package as of 12 September 2024, you will continue to pay no fees under Support at Home. If you were required to pay fees, you will pay the same or less under the new program. At Home Caring we are dedicated to supporting our older community members through these changes.

What an incredible way to wrap up the year! Yesterday Home Caring proudly co-hosted the Merry & Mingle event alongside our NSW RM Zoë and Hannah from the Connector Co team and it was nothing short of inspiring. Together we raised an incredible $1,300 for Lou’s Place, supporting women in need this festive season. This means around 20 women will receive vital support over Christmas—what a gift to be part of something so meaningful! The energy in the room was contagious and the heartfelt insights shared by Chris Mahoney from CM Wellness and Amy Dillon from Mynd & Me left us feeling empowered and inspired. Chris’s breathwork session reminded us all of the importance of mindfulness especially during this busy holiday period. It was also truly special to see so many familiar faces from across our Home Caring network with teams from Baulkham Hills, Sutherland Shire and Campbelltown coming together to show their support. The sense of community, compassion and connection in the room was a testament to the incredible people we work alongside every day. A huge thank you to everyone who attended, supported and donated - your generosity will leave a lasting impact 🩵 #SupportingCommunities #MindfulConnections #NDISWellness #WomenHelpingWomen #HolidayCareAndCompassion
