A provider is endorsed by the government to manage your HCP funding. They hold the funds for you to use on the home care services you want.
The Government do not allow your funds to go into private banking sources, they must be held by an endorsed provider. That’s why it’s really important to choose a reputable provider.
Calvary can offer a full complement of services so if your needs change we can support you with specialised care and advice. We can also advocate on your behalf so your HCP level increases if you need further support down the track.
We also have agreements in place with suppliers who offer discounted equipment and incontinence pads to Calvary clients.

We’re here to help you achieve the best outcome and hold your hand through the whole process.
The in-home government assessment is conducted by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). They determine what level you fall into, while the Department of Human Services (Centrelink) determines what co-payment you contribute to your care.
With so many different government areas involved, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and confused with information. Calvary are here to help, so simply call one of our friendly Care Advisers and they can talk you through the whole process.
The wait time for a package can vary. In non-emergency situations the government determines the wait time, and can vary from 2 – 18 months. That’s why we suggest reaching out for help as soon as you think you may benefit from it, so that you get the support you need sooner rather than later.
While waiting for a package, Calvary can apply for other types of funding on your behalf to assist you during your wait-time, so call our helpful Calvary Assist team on 1800 52 72 72 to see what we can do for you.
We work tirelessly to expedite emergency cases and secure appropriate government funding. Depending on the nature of your emergency we can activate services as quickly as 7-10 days.
We can also apply for other types of funding to assist you during this time or start private services. Once we know your situation we can walk you through the options to ensure you get the support and care you need during this challenging time. We’re here to help any way we can so simply call our Calvary Assist team on 1800 52 72 72.
