What are Home Care Packages?

Government funded aged care at home

The Home Care Package programme is designed to help people over the age of 65 continue living at home independently and safely.

The goal is to provide the care and support you need in your own home so you can stay there comfortably.
When you receive a Home Care Package, the government allocates funds for your care which are paid to the Home Care Package provider of your choice.  

Our Home Care Package services, tailored to you

Getting older shouldn’t stop you from enjoying the lifestyle you want and maintaining your independence in your own home. We provide a range of in-home aged care services throughout Melbourne which are tailored to you, your goals and your preferences.

We're Home Care Package providers

We can provide government funded in-home aged care under the Home Care Package programme. Home Care Packages give you funding to pay for the aged care support at home that you need.

If you have a Home Care Package or want to apply for one, we can help you switch providers or guide you through the application process.

Call us on 1300 030 032. We can tell you how a Package works if you’re just starting out with one and tell you everything you need to know about how we work, our costs and services. We’ll come and meet you in your own home if you like.

Once you’ve decided to use Absolute for your Home Care Package, we’ll give you a written Care Agreement that outlines our services and your Home Care Package budget and costs.

After an initial assessment with your Care Manager (they’re all Registered Nurses), we’ll set up the services you need. Whether it’s personal care or domestic help from one of our Carers, a range of other services from third party providers or purchasing equipment, we’ve got you! We’ll get it sorted quickly and professionally.

Funding your care privately

You can pay for as much or as little care as you need. We charge an hourly rate with no fixed contracts so you can flex your care up or down as you need.

What our clients say about us

“Mum and I could not be happier with the service that Absolute and the carers that look after her offer. Thank you all so very much.”
