When you choose Anglicare for your Aged Home Care Package Services, you will be supported by a passionate team of trained professionals who:
You will have your own Care Manager
They will work with you to develop your Care Plan and partner with you to coordinate your support. This includes coordinating medical and allied health professionals. Their job is to assist you in managing your health and wellbeing.
You and your Care Manager will have the support of the Anglicare Scheduling team
They will work to ensure the delivery of your support plan. If a member of your team is on leave or your needs change, they will adjust your support for you.
The goal of a Home Care Package is to help you stay independent and continue doing what makes you, you. All from the familiar surrounds of your own home.
The following broad range of services provided by Anglicare means that even if your needs change we can continue to support you.
It’s important that when you choose a home care service provider that you understand and compare all the facts and associated costs.

Each Home Care Package provides you with a coordinated set of services to assist you with continuing to live in your own home. The types of services you receive will depend on your individual goals and needs.
There are four levels of Home Care Package funded by the Australian Government, each with a different subsidy level.
Level 1 supports people with basic care needs
Level 2 supports people with low-level care needs
Level 3 supports people with intermediate care needs
Level 4 supports people with high care needs
Your Home Care Package is flexible and allows you to design it to build on your strengths and assist you in achieving your personal goals.
From July 1 there will be a new Support at Home program.
If you already have a Home Care Package and receive support services from Anglicare, we will help you to transition to Support at Home.
And from July 1, the same friendly team at Anglicare will continue to deliver your services.
In the lead-up to the July 1 start date, Anglicare will contact you to explain the arrangements for Support at Home.
Contact My Aged Care to be assessed for eligibility for a home care package.
The fastest way is to complete an online application on the My Aged Care Website. This will take approximately 15 minutes.
Visit www.myagedcare.gov.au
You can also ring them on 1800 200 422
Once you have put in your application a trained assessor will contact you within 2-6 weeks to arrange an assessment.
They will visit you in your home to discuss your support needs.
Once the assessment is completed and entered in the My Aged Care system, you will receive a letter from My Aged Care with your outcome.
If approved, you will receive one of four levels of funding support. If declined, you can still receive self-funded home support through Anglicare.
You will automatically be placed on the national prioritisation queue (waitlist). You can find out where you are placed within the queue at any time by contacting My Aged Care.
Once a home care package at your approved funding level becomes available, it will be assigned to you. My Aged Care will make contact with you to advise.
You will now be able to choose your preferred service provider and enter into a service agreement.
