Switching your Home Care Package to our service is simple and seamless. If you’re already receiving home care, you have the right to choose the provider that best meets your needs. The process typically involves a few straightforward steps:
The Home Care Package program offers four levels of funding, each designed to meet different levels of care needs. These levels are assessed based on the individual’s health and care requirements.
Check Eligibility and Apply
The first step to receiving a Home Care Package is determining whether you meet the eligibility criteria. Home Care Packages are available to older Australians who need help to live independently at home, as assessed by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). The assessment considers your physical, emotional, and social needs and how these impact your ability to manage daily activities.
To apply, you need to complete an ACAT assessment, which can be arranged by contacting My Aged Care. After completing the assessment, you will receive a letter that details your eligibility and the level of care you need. The levels range from Level 1 (basic care) to Level 4 (high-level care), which reflects the complexity and frequency of the support required. Once eligibility is confirmed, you can move forward to the next step in setting up your Home Care Package.
Find a Provider
Once you have been approved for a Home Care Package, the next step is to find a registered provider to help manage your care. There are many providers to choose from, so it’s important to take your time to explore your options. Look for a provider who understands your needs, and one that is willing to offer personalised care. The right provider will be able to coordinate your care and help you navigate the complexities of your package.
When choosing a provider, consider factors such as their experience in delivering home care, the range of services they offer, their communication style, and whether they have experience working with individuals in your specific situation. It’s also worth checking if the provider offers flexible services that allow you to tailor your care plan as your needs change over time. Once you’ve chosen a provider, they will help you design a care plan that suits your unique circumstances.
Design a Home Care Package
With the help of your provider, you can design a Home Care Package that meets your specific needs and preferences. This is the most crucial step, as the care plan you create will guide the level of support you receive. Your care plan will be based on the goals you want to achieve and the types of services that will support those goals. These could include personal care, domestic assistance, nursing services, social support, or transport assistance.
During this process, your provider will assist you in identifying any gaps in your current support system and help you prioritise what is most important. Whether it’s maintaining your independence at home or improving your quality of life, your provider will ensure that the services you receive are tailored to your goals. The flexibility of home care means that as your needs change, your package can be adjusted to provide the necessary support.
Self-managing your Home Care Package offers the flexibility and control to make decisions about your care, but it also comes with responsibilities. This option is best suited to individuals who are comfortable managing the administrative aspects of their care, such as budgeting, arranging services, and liaising with providers.
By self-managing, you can choose the services you need, select your preferred service providers, and have greater control over the care you receive. This is particularly beneficial if you have specific preferences or want to choose a mix of service providers to create a more personalised care experience. Self-managing also allows you to directly negotiate costs and fees, which could lead to savings in the long run if you’re able to organise your care efficiently.
However, self-management is not for everyone. It requires time, knowledge, and organisational skills. You will need to manage the funding, ensure that invoices are paid on time, and keep accurate records for reporting purposes. Some people may find this overwhelming, particularly if they are dealing with health conditions or limited mobility.
If you’re unsure whether self-management is right for you, it might be helpful to discuss the option with your provider. They can guide you through the process and help you understand the level of involvement required. If self-management seems too complex or time-consuming, you can opt for a provider-managed package, where your service provider takes care of all the administrative tasks on your behalf.
Navigating the complexities of home care can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you have any questions about the process of starting a Home Care Package or about the services available to you, our experienced and friendly team is here to help. We can assist you in understanding your options, explain how the Home Care Package system works, and guide you through the entire process.
Whether you’re unsure about eligibility, confused about which level of care is best suited to your needs, or wondering how to manage your package, we are here to provide clear and accurate information. We’ll take the time to explain the various services available to you and help you design a package that works for you and your goals.

Our team is committed to ensuring that you have the support and information you need to make informed decisions about your care. You don’t have to face the process alone—we are here to help every step of the way, from initial inquiries to ongoing care management.
