Home care services provide personalised support tailored to individual needs, allowing participants to live comfortably in their own homes while receiving assistance with daily tasks and personal care. As for providers, here are a few benefits:
Expanding Market: Australia’s ageing population’s demand for home care services is skyrocketing. By 2025, the Support at Home program will replace existing Home Care Packages, opening up new opportunities.
Transferable Skills: Your experience in disability support has equipped you with valuable skills directly applicable to home care services.
Diversified Revenue: Adding home care to your service offerings can provide a stable additional income stream, reducing reliance on a single funding source.
Benefits of Becoming a Home Care Provider
- Broader Client Base: Serve both NDIS participants and older Australians, increasing your potential market.
- Continuity of Care: Support your NDIS clients as they age, providing a seamless transition into aged care services.
- Business Growth: Expand your services and team, creating new employment opportunities and increasing your organisation’s reach.
- Community Impact: Play a crucial role in supporting older Australians to live independently in their homes for longer.
How to Get Started
There are some eligibility criteria to meet before applying to be a home care provider. I mean, anyone can apply, but My Aged Care does charge a fee to process an application, so it is important to know if you meet the eligibility criteria first. Book a free chat with Gina, and she will ask a few painless questions and let you know how close to ‘eligible’ your organisation is at this moment in time.
