Funding
The government pays for most of it
Australia has generous support for care at home. We’ll help you find the right door — and do the My Aged Care paperwork with you.
Support at Home
The Australian Government’s program for care at home (replacing Home Care Packages). Funding is based on your assessed needs — from about $11,000 to $78,000 a year.
