Carers ACT operate Home Care Package co-ordination services for people living in the ACT and surrounding region.

What is a Home Care Package

The Home Care Packages Program helps older Australians with complex care needs to live independently in their own homes.  The Australian Government provides a subsidy to an approved provider of home care to coordinate a package of care, services and case management for the individual.

Individuals are assessed by a professional assessor where each individual’s priority for care is determined according to four levels of support:

Home Care Level 1 – basic care needs
Home Care Level 2 – low level care needs
Home Care Level 3 – intermediate care needs
Home Care Level 4 – high care needs
.

Individuals approved for a home care package are placed on a national queue until a package becomes available and is assigned to them.
