This all depends on your individual needs.

The Government will contribute funds towards your package based on your assessment by the Aged Care Assessment Team, this is sometimes referred to as an ACAT.

Once you have been assessed, our team of Home Care experts will work with you to design a package that best suits both your personal care requirements and your affordability.

If you'd like support in arranging your ACAT, get in touch with our Home Care experts who will be happy to assist you through this process.

To access a Home Care Package you will need to contact the Government's My Aged Care service.

You will then undergo an assessment from the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) who will determine your package level. Once you have been approved for a Home Care Package you can then choose Calvary as your preferred provider.
