We don’t simply provide services to make your life easier, we want you to be seen, to really live, laugh, and tap into the things that make you thrive. We take the time to understand you and provide ongoing support so that you can stay at home, stay connected, and stay in charge.
You can tailor your Home Care Package funding to meet your individual health, wellbeing, and lifestyle goals. And if your needs change over time, your home care services can change too. We collaborate with you to develop the right care plan to amplify your aged care journey – however that looks for you.
What is a Home Care Package (HCP)?
Let’s start at the beginning. A Home Care Package (HCP) uses government funding to help seniors needing regular basic support or more advanced care to continue living independently at home for longer.
If you are eligible for an Australian government Home Care Package, you can use your Home Care Package funds to access a range of services to help with domestic tasks and personal care.
Depending on your needs and availability in your area, this could include cleaning, home and garden maintenance, in-home nursing, transport to appointments, social support, meal preparation, plus allied health, community, and other specialist services to name a few.
Why are Feros Care Home Care Packages a cut above the rest?
We thought you’d never ask. We’re proud to be providers of a new era of aged care, innovating, celebrating, and elevating our clients. Think revolutionary Goods and Equipment and Assistive Technology (GEAT) to make your day-to-day life easier, safer, and happier. We also offer a game-changing Virtual Nursing service, to save you the hassle of travelling to appointments. Plus, there are other groundbreaking initiatives like our Virtual Social Centre (VSC) to connect you with like-minded people, provide that all-important socialisation fix, help you stay physically active, and boost your mental mojo.

Frequently asked questions
Got a question about Home Care Packages?
Are there different Home Care Packages?
As there is no one-size-fits-all solution, there are four different levels of Home Care Packages which range from lower-level care (Level 1 Home Care Package), right through to higher-level, more comprehensive care (Level 4 Home Care Package).
Level 1 Home Care Package – Basic support designed to give you a little extra help and TLC to stay in your own home. This HCP level might include one or two visits a week from a care worker, providing basic care and help with household tasks.
Level 2 Home Care Package – Low-level assistance to give you the extra support and expert advice you need to stay in your own home. This HCP level might include three or four in-home care visits a week from a care worker as part of your care plan.
Level 3 Home Care Package – Home care services providing more dedicated care management to help you stay in your abode. This HCP level might include visits from a care worker or a nurse most days of the week.
Level 4 Home Care Package – High-level home care tailored to an older person with high-level or complex care needs. This HCP level might include visits every day from a care worker or a nurse.
Am I eligible?
If you are over 65 years of age and are an Australian citizen, ding ding – you may be eligible for a Home Care Package. To find out more about the eligibility criteria for in-home care, click here.
How much does home care cost?
The Australian government sets the maximum basic daily fee at up to 17.5% of the basic age pension, depending on the Home Care Package level approved. The amount may be negotiated with your chosen home care service provider (ahem, us!) based on what you can afford. Click here to see our full list of prices.
