HOME CARE PACKAGES FOR SENIORS
What is a Home Care Package?
The government Home Care Packages Program helps you to live independently in your own home for as long as you choose to do so. The Australian Government provides a subsidy to an approved home care provider towards a package of care, services and case management to meet your individual needs. You have flexibility and choice about who delivers your care.
