Quality Home Care in Wagga Wagga, Right at Home

There is no single price. Under Support at Home your contribution is worked out from your income and assets as assessed by Services Australia, and your funding covers the rest. Two people in the same street can pay quite different amounts. The only way to know where you stand is to have the assessment done, and we can explain what the result means in practice.

My Aged Care is the government front door. It is where you register, get assessed and are approved for support. A home care package, now delivered through Support at Home, is the funding itself and the services it pays for. You go through My Aged Care first, then choose a provider to deliver the care.

Nobody is turned away from government funded home care because of their financial situation. Contributions are assessed on income and assets, and there are hardship provisions for people who genuinely cannot pay. If money is the thing stopping you asking for help, say so, because it is a more common conversation than most families expect.

Ask three things. Will the same carer come each visit, or someone different each time. What happens after hours and on weekends. And what the provider charges in fees on top of the care itself, because that is what decides how many hours of actual care your funding buys. Any provider should answer all three plainly.
