If you live in Far North Queensland and need additional support to maintain your independence, a Home Care Package provided by Home Caring could help. Our team believes in providing the highest level of care possible, enabling you to retain your independence and improving your quality of life.
Understanding Home Care Packages In Depth
A Home Care Package is a government-funded programme designed to help disabled and older individuals receive the essential care services they need to remain in their homes. The scheme ensures you can live independently for as long as possible without moving into formal supported accommodation. Packages include everything you need for independent living, from personal care services to assistance with household tasks. Our carers can even help with transportation to appointments out of the home!
Once the government grants you a home care package, you can choose your preferred provider. After you make your selection, the government subsidises the care agency, reducing or eliminating the cost to you.

What Is The Cost Of Home Care Packages?
The subsidy you receive from My Aged Care Home Care Packages depends on your level of need, based on your aged care assessment. Individuals requiring more assistance to remain independent can benefit from higher budgets.
Four Aged Care Home Care Package levels are available:
- Home Care Package Level 1 for individuals requiring mild support
- Home Care Package Level 2 for those requiring moderate support
- Home Care Package Level 3 for extensive support
- Home Care Package Level 4 for around-the-clock support
A Level 3 Home Care Package provides significant financial support, while a Level 4 Home Care Package can go as high as $59,594 a year (July 2023).
To finance these packages, you may need to pay a basic daily fee or an income-tested fee. We suggest you schedule a free consultation with us to learn more about any costs you may need to pay or whether SDA accommodation would serve you better.
