Home Care Packages are affordable care services, subsidised by the Australian Government, to help older (or less able-bodied) citizens receive the help they need, while still maintaining their independence.
Designed for those with needs too complex for the Commonwealth Home Support Programme, your home care package budget will depend upon your particular needs and your income-tested care fee (how much you can afford to pay yourself).
They include care and other specialist services- tailored to your needs- to help improve your health and wellbeing, whilst allowing you to remain living, safely and independently, in your own home.
There are four levels of home care packages, with Level 1 being the most basic and Level 4 being the most comprehensive.
