What is Community Care?

Community Care is a range of flexible and personalised services to support you to live safely and independently at home.

You may be looking for a little extra help with housework and gardening to keep your home looking spic and span, or for specialist health care and registered nurse visits after a hospital stay. These services are provided by our dedicated, qualified and experienced care workers who visit you in your own home.

The services that you access can be paid for in a number of ways – from using your Home Care Package to paying privately, or even supplementing your Package with additional services to ensure you’re receiving the support you need.
