What is a Home Care Package?
Home Care Packages are government-funded programs designed to support older Australians who wish to remain living independently in their own homes for as long as possible. There are four levels of packages available, each offering a different amount of funding based on your care needs:
- Level 1: Basic care needs – ideal for those needing a little help with daily tasks.
- Level 2: Low-level care – for support with a few more regular activities.
- Level 3: Intermediate care – offering more support, often including mobility or health-related assistance.
- Level 4: High-level care – for individuals with more complex or ongoing care needs.
The goal of in-home care is to fit into your routine, not to disrupt it. With the right support, you or your loved one can continue enjoying familiar surroundings, community connections, and daily routines.
