Private Home Care

Flexible home care when you need support sooner

We provide a flexible package for people who need help quickly, are waiting for an aged care assessment, want extra support outside your approved services, or prefer to pay privately for care at home.

What is Private Home Care

Our Private Home Care package is arranged directly between you and Wongaburra Home Care. Unlike government-funded care, Private Home Care does not require you to wait for an approved support plan before starting services. This can make it a helpful option if you need support sooner or want additional care beyond what is funded.

Private Home Care can be arranged around your or your loved one’s needs, preferences, and schedule. It may be used on its own or alongside other care pathways, depending on your circumstances.

verified No Government Assessment Required

Why choose Private Home Care?

Government-funded aged care can involve assessments, approvals, and waiting periods. Private Home Care may help bridge the gap while you are waiting for services or when you need support that is not included in your current package.

Private Home Care gives you more flexibility to choose what support you receive, how often you receive support, when services are scheduled, whether support is short-term or ongoing, and whether care is for yourself or a loved one.

Once your government-funded support is approved, Wongaburra can help you understand how your care options may change.
