Home Care Packages

 

Home Care Packages provide long-term support for older people who want to stay living in their home.

Central Highlands Rural Health provides a level of care management and service coordination that suits you.

 

 

Your package can purchase a range of services many of which can be provided by Central Highlands Rural Health. These include:

  • Personal care
  • Cleaning and laundry
  • Meal preparation
  • Allied health services
  • Gardening
  • Home nursing
  • Companionship
  • Home maintenance
  • Transport

What does it cost?

Eligibility for a Home Care Package is determined by the Aged Care Assessment Service. This assessment is free and conducted in your home by experienced professionals.

If your circumstances allow, you may be asked to contribute to the cost of your care. Home care packages are income tested by the government.

If you are assessed as eligible for a home care package you can use the fee estimator to help calculate your costs in My Aged Care www.myagedcare.gov.au.

You may need to have an income assessment and should arrange this as soon as possible as this process takes time. Your income assessment will let you know if you need to pay an income-tested care fee.

You may be asked to pay:

  1. a basic daily fee (which everyone can be asked to pay)
  2. an income-tested care fee (worked out by the Department of Human Services)
  3. fees for additional care or services not covered by your home care package

Depending upon your package level, we may also charge a set fee for Package Management. The current costs for care management and program management are available here.

You can discuss and agree to any fees with us before you receive services.

Where can I find our more?

Go to My Aged Care which is the gateway to Australian Government funded aged care services. You can phone My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or visit their website www.myagedcare.gov.au.
