Aged Care Services
Home is where the heart is, and as you age, accessing in-home services means getting the support to stay connected, well and independent.
Whether you are a Home Care Package recipient or a private self-funded customer, have as much, or as little, control over the management of your care as you want.
What's the difference between
Care Managed and Self Managed?
Care Managed
Self Managed
Get matched with Helpers
We manage your care schedule for you. We take the time to get to know you so we can find the best Helpers that match your criteria. We not only verify skills, training, and references - we will search for people who are willing to go that extra mile to form a genuine connection.
Find your own team
You’re in control with the Five Good Friends app. Simply describe what support you need and within 24 hours you’ll receive a shortlist of Helpers who closely match your criteria. You can then compare their profiles, send them a request, and chat with them directly to organise and book-in visits.
Work with a Care Manager
Care Managed Members will receive support from a dedicated Care Manager. They will work closely with you on an ongoing basis to manage things like budgets, third-party services, and managing changes in your support needs. Your Care Manager is responsible for Members in your locality with a cap on how many Members they manage. This ensures everyone is able to receive thorough and consistent support.
Manage your own care
As a Self Managed Member, you have the flexibility and choice to decide how you coordinate your own care. You will still receive oversight from a Care Manager and support from our nursing team for reviews. But we’ll take on more of a coaching role and provide guidance, as you need it.
Higher fees
We charge more for Care Managed memberships as they require greater hands-on support.
Lower fees
We charge less for Self Managed Memberships as you take on more personal responsibility.
A deeper relationship with you
Five Good Friends is here to ease the burden of care, take control as required, and offer ongoing, high-quality support for you and your loved ones.
We’ll coach and assist you as needed
Five Good Friends is here to coach and support you. You’ll have all the tools you need to self-manage your own care and live as independently as possible.

After receiving the services of Five Good Friends for about 3 years now, they have always lived up to my expectations and meet their own set ideals.

Five Good Friends have always provided the best levels of support for my elderly mother. The staff have always been unwaveringly professional and friendly in their approach. The Helpers have always been extremely caring and helpful.

Staff are caring, friendly, and go out of their way to help their clients. The app keeps you up to date. Any requests made for services such as new equipment or a re-assessment of a client is acted upon promptly. Overall excellent service!

Before l chose Five Good Friends as my service provider, l had consulted three other companies. They were by far the most flexible and accommodating to meet my real needs. I am well pleased with the outcome.
