Home Care Package Coordination

WHAT IS A HOME CARE PACKAGE?

​

Home Care Packages (HCP) are the federal government’s way of funding services for people who have additional care needs and wish to continue living independently.

​

They’re designed to be flexible and to provide support across a range of areas,

including:

• personal care

• meal preparation

• cleaning and gardening

• wound management

• continence care

• transport

• taking part in social activities.

 

Home Care Packages can also include nursing, podiatry and allied health services.

 

Am I eligible for a Home Care Package?

​

To qualify, you must be 65 or older (50 years or older for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples) and need help with everyday tasks.

​

Eligibility is assessed by My Aged Care, and is based on your health and well-being, mobility, independence and personal support networks
