Choose the care and support you need, when you need it
Get in touch
Alongside our government funded services, we also offer Self-funded Home Care services, allowing for more freedom and access to additional care and support when needed.
Our Self-funded Home Care services give you the flexibility to choose the care and support you need, when you need it, short and long-term, with no assessment required. If you’re waiting for approval on your Support at Home program (formerly Home Care Packages), wish to add extra support to your current plan, or would like to pay privately, our Self-funded options make it easy giving your more choice and flexibility.
With Catholic Healthcare’s Self-funded Home Care services, you stay in control -- with more tailored support, you can choose the services that matter to you most, when you need them the most.
