Home Care Funding Sources

There are various funding options in accessing Goodna home care to meet individuals’ needs. The funding options enable individuals to get care at their homes and, as a result, live independently and safely. They either come from private or governmental sources based on one’s eligibility and circumstances.

Government Supported

Home Care Packages (HCP)

Home Care Packages (HCP) is a Commonwealth programme delivering tailored care to frail older Australians requiring assistance with their activities of daily living. It is available to eligible clients aged 65 and above (50 and above for Torres Strait Islanders and Aboriginal) assessed as needing greater dependence than is possible from low-level community care.

It has four levels of Home Care Packages, ranging from Level 1 which assists to address low needs, to Level 4 which assists to address high needs, and they have a shared level of funding. The level of funding they receive is based on an ACAT assessment conducted to establish one’s needs. Once the consumer has been assessed to receive a Home Care Package, the consumer may select an approved provider to coordinate the care and allocate the funding to services.

The funds can be used for a whole array of services such as nursing, personal care, domestic assistance, transport, and even respite for carers. The funds are all about choice and flexibility and enable users to have their needs and wishes fulfilled.

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

The National Disability Insurance Scheme is a scheme funded by the Commonwealth to assist people with permanent and significant disabilities. The NDIS funds individuals to access specific services to enhance their independence, quality of life, and participation in the community.

Under the NDIS, a person is subjected to an individualized plan that outlines his/her personal aspirations and needs. The funding can be used to meet costs like personal care, therapy, home modification, equipment, and assistance in daily living. The NDIS is accessible to everyone, and the funding provided is individualized and based on requirements and conditions.

Non-Government Fund

Private Home Care

For others who are not qualified for government assistance or want to spend their own money, private home care is an option. Private home care allows individuals the liberty to receive the quantity and nature of services that they wish without the limitations of government-funded programs. This is particularly helpful to individuals who need special kinds of care that are not included in government-funded programs.

Private home care enables people to decide the level and nature of care they wish to receive, making it either personal care, companionship, or more extensive care. Private care is usually charged on an hourly or visit basis and funded by the client or family member themselves. Private care is most appropriate for people with high care needs who need more tailored care or those who need more flexibility to organize their care.
