Home Care in New South Wales

If you want to remain living in your own home, but need a little extra help around the house with daily tasks, then you may want to consider home care. In New South Wales, a number of home care providers can tailor a home care program to suit your individual needs.

Once you have been assessed (and considered eligible) for a Home Care Package, you will be advised of your care level. These levels are determined based on your individual care needs:

• Level 1: Basic care
• Level 2: Low-level care
• Level 3: Intermediate care
• Level 4: High-level care

Each Home Care Package level receives different amounts of funding from the Government. Once you have been approved and received your Home Care Package funds, you will be able to choose the home care provider that suits you. Home care providers in New South Wales include:

A new model of Consumer Directed Care (CDC) was recently introduced to home care. This means you now have even more flexibility and choice in selecting your home care provider. You can now also select the exact home care services you want and choose how your home care funds are spent.

If you are not eligible to receive Home Care Package funding from the Government, you can also self-fund your own home care program.
