Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Home Care Package?

A Home Care Package is a government-funded program that provides older Australians with personalised home care services to help them live safely and independently at home. It includes a range of support services such as personal care, domestic help, nursing care, and transport, depending on your assessed care needs.

Who is eligible for a Home Care Package?

You may be eligible for a Home Care Package if you’re an older Australian who needs assistance with everyday activities to continue living at home. Eligibility is determined through a free ACAT (Aged Care Assessment Team) assessment arranged via My Aged Care.

How do I apply for a Home Care Package?

To apply, contact My Aged Care at 1800 200 422 or visit their website. After your ACAT assessment, you’ll receive a letter confirming your eligibility and home care package level. Once a package becomes available, choose a home care provider like Auscare to start your services.

Can I use a Home Care Package for nursing care?

Absolutely. Our team includes qualified staff who provide clinical and nursing services, such as medication management, wound care, and palliative support — especially important at Level 3 and Level 4 packages.

Is there support for carers or family members?

Yes. In addition to client support, we offer respite care so carers can take a well-earned break. We also provide ongoing communication with families to keep them informed and reassured.

What’s the difference between Home Care Packages and the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)?

The CHSP is for those needing entry-level support to remain at home, while Home Care Packages are designed for clients with more complex or ongoing needs. CHSP services are usually provided on a short-term or occasional basis, while Home Care Packages offer more funding, consistency, and tailored care plans.

John and Edna’s Home Care Package journey

When 85-year-old Edna walked into Auscare’s East Victoria Park office, she was seeking help for her husband, John (90), who had recently gone missing in the early hours of the morning. Thankfully, he was found safe, but the incident made it clear, they needed support at home.

With no family nearby and no government-funded services in place, Auscare stepped in. Our Community Manager worked closely with Edna, arranging:

An urgent ACAT assessment through My Aged Care for John
A Regional Assessment Service for Edna
Support through Carer Gateway
Referrals to Alzheimer’s support services
A tailored Home Care Package for John
Commonwealth Home Support Programme services for Edna

Now, just a few months later, their lives have changed.

Edna enjoys home support and gardening help
John receives daily personal care, enjoys excursions, and feels more settled

Thanks to Auscare, they’ve found the confidence and support to stay safely and happily together at home.
