Here to answer your questions
At Lutheran Services, we genuinely really want you to be happy.
So we take the time to listen and understand what’s important to you.
We provide support at home that’s unique to you, designed with love and care. We’re here so you don’t have to do it alone. With a support person to bring laughter and joy to your day, start each day feeling confident and in control. It’s Home Care designed by you, supported by us.
The first step is finding out if you can get government funding. To do this you need to be assessed by your local Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). You can arrange an appointment by:
- Speaking to your doctor
- Visiting the My Aged Care website
- Phoning My Aged Care on 1800 200 422
Confused about where to start? Give us a call on 1800 960 433 and we’ll talk you through it.
There are four levels of Home Care packages which are provided through federal government funding. You will be assessed by the ACAT team as to whether you receive a basic, low, intermediate or high level of support. We can explain it all to you, the first step is getting your ACAT assessment.
The government funds most of the cost and sets a cap on the maximum fees you would pay. Fees are determined by your income, not your assets. If you are a full pensioner, the maximum basic daily fee is about $10 a day. This fee may change in line with the twice-yearly changes to the age pension. If you’re not a full pensioner, you may be asked to pay a contribution in addition to the basic daily fee.
Financial hardship assistance is available in some circumstances, and other financial assistance (for example, oxygen supplements) may be available. The My Aged Care website has detailed information about income-tested fees and a fee estimator.
You can receive Private Home Care services. Whatever your needs or situation, there is a simple way to get the in-home help you want by purchasing your own Private Home Care services.
This might suit you if you are:
- Waiting for your ACAT assessment/Home Care Package
- Require immediate support
- Do not wish to use a government subsidy
Yes, you can. You might get funding for a certain amount of care and then want to pay for extra visits on top of that. Top up services are available to you at our standard Lutheran Services rates.
We’ll meet you at your home and together we’ll make a care plan that suits you. We’ll ask you about your lifestyle and the things you enjoy doing. We believe personal goals are an important part of your care plan too. What do you want to be able to do? We’ll work together to achieve your goals, big or small, everyday. We’re here to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and be as independent as comfortably possible.
