Finding quality home care can be overwhelming, but our Home Care Shortlist makes it easy. Compare local providers, connect directly, and request information or consultations - all in one place. This saves time and ensures informed decisions.
Need help finding trusted home care in South Australia? Whether you live in Adelaide, Mount Gambier, Whyalla, the Barossa Valley or a regional town, Aged Care Online connects you with qualified in-home aged care providers across SA.
Explore services that help older South Australians stay independent, comfortable, and safe at home—with support that’s tailored to your personal needs and lifestyle.
Home care means receiving professional aged care services in your own home, rather than moving into residential care. Support can range from basic help with daily tasks to complex medical and nursing care.
Services may include:
Personal care (bathing, grooming, dressing)
Meal preparation and grocery shopping
House cleaning and laundry
Medication management and nursing
Physiotherapy and allied health
Dementia support and palliative care
Transport to appointments or social outings
Respite for family carers
The Australian Government funds Home Care Packages (HCPs) to provide coordinated and long-term care to older people with more complex needs.
There are four levels available:
Level 1 – Basic support needs
Level 2 – Low-level care
Level 3 – Intermediate care
Level 4 – High-level support
To access a package, you'll need an assessment from My Aged Care. Once approved, you’ll receive a referral code to connect with government-approved providers in your area.
From 1 November 2025, the Home Care Package and CHSP systems will transition to the new Support at Home program - a streamlined and more flexible aged care model.
Features of the Support at Home program include:
Easier access to services
More choice and control for care recipients
Government-set pricing to protect affordability
Simpler system for navigating care options
We’ll continue to update this page as the changes roll out across South Australia.
Aged Care Online features providers that service locations across both metro and regional South Australia, including:
