What is a Home Care Package?

Under the Aged Care Act 1997, the Australian Government provides a subsidy to an approved provider of home care to coordinate a package of care, services and case management to meet the individual needs of older Australians. Individuals are assessed by a professional assessor using a nationally consistent assessment framework.

There are four levels of support available under home care packages based on your care needs:

Home Care Level 1, Home Care Level 2 , Home Care Level 3 and Home Care Level 4.
