Now that you have your Home Care Package subsidy, you have choice and flexibility in the way it is used to provide appropriate care and support. Because each individual has different needs and wants, the way in which a Home Care Package subsidy is spent will vary greatly from person to person.
At Home Care Assistance we are on hand to help guide you through the process of allocating your Home Care Package subsidy to ensure your health, home and wellbeing needs are met, enabling you to live safely and independently at home.
There really is no ‘right’ way to allocate your subsidy, and it’s essential that your care program is custom-made to help you achieve your goals.
You can use your package to access services such as
Cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation
Garden and home maintenance
Transport to appointments or shopping
Showering and dressing
Access to allied health services such as physiotherapy, massage and podiatry
Referrals to other services in the community like exercise groups, hydrotherapy and day programs
Choosing a home care provider
Some things to consider when choosing a Home Care Provider are:
Are they a government approved provider of Home Care packages?
Are carers employed by the company directly?
What training do home care staff receive?
What are the package management/administration fees?
Do they charge an exit fee?
Can you contact someone 24 hours 7 days a week if there is a problem or concern with care?
If you would like to speak to a member of our friendly team for some expert advice or to organise an obligation free in-home consultation, please contact your local team here.
Management/Administration fees
Part of your subsidy will go towards a management fee. Home Care Assistance charges a very low package management fee which means you use the majority of your subsidy for direct care needs. To learn more, contact your local team by clicking here.
Is there a time limit?
In receiving your Home Care Package, you have been allocated a referral code. You have 56 days to choose a Home Care Provider using that referral code.

Home Care Assistance run by Jeremy and Samantha, a lovely couple with a caring attitude and a family themselves. After bringing my Mum to Sydney and needing expert help immediately I found HCA online... and liked their story. As soon as they walked in our door, we knew we were safe. I liked the fact that there was direct contact with the owners and nothing was too much trouble. The carers selected for Mum were perfect for her and very capable. Unfortunately Mum has had to move to a nursing home now but I would happily recommend this wonderful business to anyone with aged care needs.read more
