Home Care Packages are home care services funded by the Australian Government. They help you with everyday tasks such as housework, laundry, taking care of yourself and doing the grocery shopping, so you can live independently at home.
A Level 2 Home Care Package is the most common type of package in Australia. If you have low level care needs (more than basic level care, but not as much as complex care), this level of funding provides help with daily tasks so you can keep living happily in your local community.
we tailor our packages to suit each of our clients, and never treat two people as the same. We offer assistance with tasks in a way that is suited to your needs.
we provide coordinated services with heart, and treat each of our clients as one of our own.
we meet the highest standards, and pay attention to the details so you get the most out of your package funds.
our team of care workers and health professionals are from the areas they provide care in, so are best-placed to connect you with community services and activities.
we take a coordinated approach to care, working with you, your loved ones and health care professionals to deliver the best outcomes for you.
A Level 2 Aged Care Package includes the following range of tasks:
A Home Care Package can be adjusted as your situation changes. For example, a service provider might send a support worker to visit you once a week to help you with the housework and personal care, but in time, you may want to assistive aids, such as a walker or lift chair, to help you move safely and stay comfortable around the home.

An HCP Level 2 is a good way to ensure your needs are met, so you can continue living safely and comfortably at home. By taking care of the little things, you’re more likely to live at home for longer, and prevent moving into an aged care facility before you are ready. It’s also a good way to care for your health and wellbeing as you age.
To be eligible for an HCP Level 2, you must be 65 years or old (50 years or older for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people) and need support to live at home safely.
You can apply for an aged care assessment on the My Aged Care government website, or appoint someone to apply on your behalf. An Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) health professional will then visit you, chat to you about your needs, and assess which Home Care Package level is right for you.
If you are eligible for Home Care Package Level 2 funding, you will be notified by mail through an approval letter, and placed in a national queue to be assigned a package. While you wait, you can select a care provider who will use your Home Care Package funding to provide you with a care plan that suits your needs. Depending on your personal circumstances, you may be asked to contribute towards your care through two care package fees: a basic daily fee and an income-tested care fee, determined through an income assessment.
