What is a Home Care Package?

A Home Care Package is a government-funded program in Australia that helps seniors maintain their independence and quality of life at home. It provides a range of services to meet the person’s needs, such as personal care, nursing support, mobility support, assistance with household chores, and even social activities. These services are delivered by aged care providers who are registered to deliver home care to a high standard.

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.

The cost of a Home Care Package varies depending on your individual financial situation, and the level of care you are eligible for. The Australian government subsidises the Home Care Package program, which means that seniors can access home care for a minimal amount and access the support they need. The amount the government subsidises increases with higher Home Care Package levels.

If you are eligible for a Home Care Package, you may have to make a contribution towards your services. This might take the form of:

  • A basic daily fee – this amount varies depending on your Home Care Package level. The cost of your basic daily fee can change each year, in line with changes to the age pension.
  • An income-tested care fee – you may be asked to contribute this type of fee depending on your financial circumstances. If so, your government subsidy will be reduced by the amount you are assessed as eligible to pay.
  • Any additional fees charged by your home care provider for services.

Home Caring provides affordable and cost-effective in home care packages in Wollongong that make the most of your government funding. We’ll help you use your Home Care Package effectively, so you get the services you need and the most value for money. To find out more about our services, please get in touch with our customer care team. We’d love to help.

Home Caring is extremely excited to see the launch of the National Autism Strategy, a significant step toward creating a more inclusive society. This strategy focuses on improving community involvement, education and employment opportunities as well as enhancing diagnosis, services and support systems for autistic individuals.

To truly make a difference, these commitments must be backed by fully funded, long-term action plans that are both led by autistic voices and aligned with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).

We strongly support calls for:

~ An end to harmful NDIS reassessments that leave autistic   
  individuals without crucial supports.
~ Increased funding for early intervention, diagnostic services and therapies.
~ Fully funded plans that ensure timely access to services 
  particularly for those in marginalised communities.

Let’s continue working together to make meaningful changes for autistic people across our great nation 🩵
