What is a Home Care Package?

Funded by the Federal Government, a Home Care Package is a coordinated, flexible care plan that allows ageing adults to continue living in the comfort of their own homes.

As each client has individual care needs, each Home Care Package is tailored to meet these needs.

There are currently 4 levels available for Home Care Packages:

Level Package 1 : (basic level care needs)
Level Package 2 : (low level care needs)
Level Package 3 : (intermediate level care needs)
Level Package 4 : (high level care needs)

How much will my Home Care Package cost?

Taking up a Home Care Package is FREE* if you are a full pensioner or your income is below the means-tested care fee (an individual earns less than $26,072.80 or couple living together earn less than $40,471.60). If you earn above these amounts, Centrelink can help you work out what your income-tested care fee will be.

How much of the package goes to administration and case management?

At Better In-Home Care, we keep our overheads low so we can offer more care to our clients. Unlike other home care providers, we charge a low case management fee.

Can I choose my own home care provider?

Yes. Because all Home Care Packages are delivered on a Consumer Directed Care (CDC) basis, you not only have more choice regarding how your home care funds are spent, but you also have the opportunity to choose your own aged care provider.
