Helping you get the most from your Home Care Package

As an approved Home Care Package provider, Proveda is here to help you get the support you need.

A Home Care Package is an Australian Government program providing funding for support services for older people who want to stay at home for longer. Home Care Packages are designed to help people aged 65 years and over obtain in-home support to stay living as independently as possible.

A Home Care Package provides access to ongoing services to help with a number of everyday tasks, including domestic services, personal care and clinical care. The program can also help provide mobility aids and minor home modifications.

There are two types of government-funded home support, the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) which provides entry level support, and then four levels of Home Care Packages (HCP) ranging from the more basic at Level 1, to the more complex at Level 4.

Typically, CHSP services are short-term (refer to our CHSP information page), while a Home Care Package provides longer-term support for more complex or ongoing needs. To find out if you are eligible for a Home Care Package, visit My Aged Care.

There Are 4 Levels of Home Care Packages:

1

Basic Care

The focus of this package is on basic care needs such as domestic assistance.
2

Low Care

This care package helps you maintain independence with domestic help and more general service options.
3

Intermediate Care

This package includes added services such as personal care, meals, transport, social support and relevant health services.
4

High Care

This is the highest level of care which is customised to your needs and provided regularly throughout the week.

What We Do

At Proveda, our approach is to not only help you find the service you need, but to also look at how our Home Care packages can assist your overall wellbeing, and how we can use our wider circle of support services to provide more holistic care for you.

After thirty years as an independent, not-for-profit organisation, helping more than 15,000 people successfully navigate the health and community care systems, we are proud to provide you a ‘best fit’ solution. We draw upon our experience and additional services such as our volunteers, dementia and carer advice, opportunities for social connections through the Belong Club, and a range of other services, to tailor the right solution for you.

We have been providing support to the elderly since we started in 1994, gaining considerable expertise in how home care packages work, what services are available to you at each level, and how to maximise the funding you have available. Sometimes, we can support you with free services, which means more of your package funding is available to you for other more needed items.

The job of our care coordinators is to identify your needs and make the best use of your funding with the right providers, so that you are well-supported to live independently at home. In most instances, we don’t provide the direct care, but instead we offer independent advice about the best way to use your Home Care Package, and select and coordinate the best aged care support services for you from our pool of over 150 providers, to ensure you get the most out of your Home Care Package (HCP) funding.

Currently, we predominantly serve the Northern Sydney region, however, feel free to talk to us to see if we can help you. Proveda is proud to be an approved Home Care Package provider.

Types of Services Available on a HCP Include:

Domestic assistance like cleaning, laundry and chores
Meals and food preparation
Help with shopping
Gardening and lawn care
Transport
Personal care and grooming
Podiatry, physiotherapy and other therapies
Nursing
Aids to stay independent
Social connection
Respite for carers

Why Choose Proveda?

How we look after you differs, as we provide you a little more support at home.

Regardless of whether you have a Home Care Package with us, or you’re looking to change aged care providers, Proveda offers a broader, deeper, and wider circle of support to help you in so many more ways.

From casual coffee catch-ups for dementia advice, volunteers to provide social support or access to the Belong Club where you can learn new things and interact with others, Proveda offers more opportunities for connection, compassion and holistic care.

When you are looking for more than just aged care support at home, Proveda offers a little more.

Some of the benefits of our aged care services include:

More choice and flexibility

Over 150 service providers ensure we will find a ‘best fit’ home care solution for your individual needs. We will bring our expertise to the table, so if your situation changes in any way, we can adapt and advise you appropriately.

Extra layers of support

We provide an extra level of care that money can’t buy for you, your carer and your family too. Automatically benefit from freely accessing our additional community programs designed for building new friendships, learning, support and activities.

Greater independence

We are only ever in your corner. Our independence ensures you get choice and control over what home care services you want and you can choose from a wide array of service providers, taking into account your particular needs now and in the future.

Not-for-profit

As a not-for-profit community organisation, we strive to keep our care and package management fees to a minimum and you’ll only ever pay for what you use, and no more. No commissions and no exit fees, everything is transparent.

People who care

Be reassured, we genuinely care. We will help you any way we can and share our knowledge. We hope that each and every time you deal with us, you get the care, support and assistance you need and we are only ever a phone call away should you need it.

Care Circles

Your care is managed by a key contact, but you have the additional benefit of being supported by a dedicated aged care team, so you’re never left without someone who can support you or that understands your needs.

HCP Fees and Charges

We believe it is important to be open and transparent with our HCP fees and charges. Proveda’s management fees are below the market average and there are absolutely no hidden charges. We charge one flat rate for each package level and no exit fees. Take a look at our Home Care Package  Fees and Charges information sheet for the full rundown.

As a customer you will receive a detailed monthly statement of all your services and charges and have a clear understanding of the balance of your Home Care Package funding, giving you clarity and peace of mind
