Tools, trust, and choice – all in your hands.

Not everyone needs Support at Home funding to organise their care. Some people prefer to fund their own services and take a more hands-on approach to managing them. If this sounds like you, or if you're exploring options while waiting for government funding, we can help.

How it works

You decide what kind of support you need and when.

We offer a trusted network, an easy to use app, and a simple way to organise services that help you stay well at home, your way.

The most common private in-home services include: 

  • Personal care 
  • Cleaning and household tasks 
  • Light gardening 
  • In-home respite 
Chevron Down Icon

Yes. It’s actually really common to begin with self-funded care while waiting for government approval to come through. 

Our team can also: 

  • Help you apply for Support at Home funding
  • Ensure continuity of care during the transition from privately funded home care to Support at Home 
  • Maximise your new government funding once approved
Chevron Down Icon

Opting for private in-home care allows you to:

  • Start care immediately — no waiting periods
  • Stay flexible — adjust support as your needs change
  • Maintain consistency — stick to the same care team even after you move to government funding
  • Get tailored services — choose exactly what works for you so you know you’re maximising your government funding
Chevron Down Icon

Private home care offers flexibility, immediacy, and choice — without waiting lists or eligibility requirements. It’s a great option for those who need extra support, short-term assistance, or services beyond what government funding covers.

You might choose private home care if:

  • You’re not eligible for government-funded support but still want professional in-home care.
  • You’re waiting for Support at Home funding to become available and need services right away.
  • You require additional or specialised services that aren’t covered under your government-funded care.
  • You only need temporary or short-term care, such as after surgery or during recovery.
  • You want to give a family carer a break, using private care as respite to support both you and your loved ones.
