Home Care Packages Perth

What is a Home Care Package?

A Government funded Home Care Package (HCP), can be of great assistance in helping you, or a loved one to stay safe, healthy and happy in the comfort of your own home.

The decision around the services and who provides them - is now up to individual choice and puts all Australians, at the forefront of their own home care needs.

This is great news!

Under the program, seniors choose a service provider that is right for their specific needs (eg: Comfort Keepers). The government, then pays us, a subsidy to provide a care package to meet your specific requirements.If you’re over 65, or an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, over 50, you could be eligible.

Funded by the Australian Government - there are four levels of Home Care Packages with a scale of funding levels, to reflect care packages from the basic, through to the highest level of care.

What sort of packages are available?

There are four levels of support provided under the program:

PACKAGE LEVEL
