Home Care Package (HCP)

Government-Funded Home Care Package (HCP)

With Government-Funded Home Care Packages (HCP), people can receive the support necessary to maintain independence in their homes and communities. With a focus on holistic care, we aim to empower our patients to live fulfilling lives while remaining in familiar surroundings.

What Are Government Home Care Packages?

A Home Care Package is a Government-funded program designed to facilitate comfortable living at home for older Australians and those with disabilities or care needs. The program has 4 levels that cover different areas where people may need help, like personal care, nursing, transport, home modification, allied health and therapy services and more. 

With this funding, people can improve their quality of life and get help with daily tasks through personalised care and support. 

Who is Eligible For HCP?

The eligibility to apply for the Home Care Package includes the following:

  • People aged 65 or older (50 years or older for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people)
  • Younger individuals with disabilities, dementia, or other care needs not met through other specialist services may also qualify..

How Does The Home Care Package Work?

Here’s a simplified overview of how my aged care program works:

  • 1. Assessment and Approval:

    Eligible seniors must apply for an assessment at their homes to understand their care and needs. Once approved, they set up the level of coverage, and then they can sign up with an approved provider – a third-party organisation that will be responsible for managing the HCP budget.

  • 2. Service Allocation:

    The Home Care Package (HCP) provider assigns a case manager to assess your needs. Based on this assessment, they refer appropriate service providers, such as our team at Healthproof, to fulfil your care requirements.

  • 3. Coordination of Care:

    The assigned Home Care Package (HCP) manager acts as a connection between you and the service providers. They coordinate assessments, goal planning, and treatments, ensuring seamless delivery of care. Alternatively, you can communicate directly with Healthproof, and we can guide you through the process and help you get started on your care journey.

Referring to Clients as a Healthcare Professional

Home Care Package V/S Commonwealth Home Support Programm

While both programs’ goal is to support individuals to live independently at home, there are significant variations in the level of support provided. 

The Home Care Package offers 4 different levels of funding, catering to people with varying care needs. In contrast, the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)  is not designed for those requiring intensive or complex care. People with higher needs can seek appropriate support through other aged care programs like the HCP or residential aged care.
