Understanding Home Care Packages
Iconic Care offers comprehensive home care packages designed to support older Australians in maintaining their independence while living comfortably at home. These packages provide a range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals, ensuring they receive the best possible care without compromising their quality of life.
What Are Home Care Packages?
Home care packages are government-subsidised programs aimed at assisting seniors in performing daily activities that they may find challenging due to age, illness, or disability. At Iconic Care, these packages are categorized into four levels, each offering varying degrees of support based on the individual’s needs.
Services Included in Home Care Packages
Each package is designed to be flexible, allowing recipients to choose services that best suit their lifestyle and requirements. Some of the services offered include:
- Personal Care: Assistance with activities like bathing, dressing, and grooming.
- Domestic Support: Help with household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, and meal preparation.
- Nursing Services: Access to healthcare professionals for medication management and wound care.
- Social Support: Opportunities to engage in community activities and social interactions.
- Transport: Assistance with travel to appointments or community events.
How to Access a Home Care Package
Accessing a home care package with Iconic Care involves a few steps. Firstly, an assessment is conducted by the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) to determine eligibility and the appropriate level of care required. Once approved, recipients can choose Iconic Care as their provider and work with a care manager to develop a tailored care plan.
Benefits of Choosing Iconic Care
Iconic Care is dedicated to providing high-quality, personalised care that enhances the well-being of its clients. With a focus on compassionate service and a commitment to excellence, Iconic Care ensures that every client receives the attention and support they need to live comfortably at home.
Funding and Costs
The cost of home care packages varies depending on the level of care required and the services chosen. While the government subsidises a significant portion of the costs, recipients may be required to contribute a small fee based on their income. Iconic Care provides transparent pricing and offers guidance to help clients understand their funding options.

Have you come to the realisation that you or a loved one may require additional help at home? It’s crucial to be upfront with your family about the kind of treatment that might be beneficial. For both those who require care, and the carers themselves, admitting the need for more help can be a significant step.
Always keep in mind that the purpose of home care is to support you or a loved one in maintaining independence and engaging in personal interests from the comfort and familiarity of your own home.
Receiving expert assistance can improve quality of life and reduce the likelihood of requiring long-term care, according to research.
We can assist you in beginning. To talk with a helpful representative of the Iconic Care team, call 0405 519 178.
Support may be obtained from a variety of sources, including friends, family, neighbours, churches, and community organisations. As we age, we occasionally require care companies like Iconic Care to supplement that help.
Iconic Care provides a wide range of services that are specially designed to match your requirements and objectives. Home Care services are available on a short- or long-term basis, during the day or at night.
Your financial options for hiring in-home care includes:
- Using your own funds to pay for the services
- Making a Home Care Package application for government funding
We want to make sure you are aware of all the possibilities so you or a loved one may continue to live comfortably at home.
Call 0405 519 178.
Although submitting an application for a home care package may seem daunting, with a little help, we can make it a bit simpler for you.
You must first complete a recommendation form for My Aged Care. Then, the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) will assess whether you or a loved one requires subsidised in-home assistance. Following the assessment, the My Aged Care system will determine if you qualify for one of four funding levels.
You will be given a Home Care Package whenever one at your level becomes available. The next step is to choose your preferred service provider and sign a service contract. After that, you can start receiving more help at home.
We can assist you right away if you require support. Even if you decide not to use us as your service provider, our Customer Centre representatives would be happy to assist you in navigating the government funding system.
For a free consultation, contact us at 0405 519 178.
If you require services right away or don’t want to wait for the government assessment procedure, you might consider paying for your home care privately as a stop-gap solution.
In fact, if you decide to pay privately for your services, we can often begin providing you with home care in just 3-5 business days. While you won’t receive a refund, you’ll still be able to access all of our high-quality services without having to deal with waiting lists or additional paperwork.
If you would like, you can supplement your package or government funding with additional privately sponsored services. In-home nursing and respite services are two other options for short-term care.
To set up your services, or learn more about private services, please call us at 0405 519 178.
Unhappy with your current home care provider? Any unused subsidy can be transferred to Iconic Care along with your package.
We’d be delighted to chat with you about the process.
Once the transfer is complete, we can start offering our assistance so that you or a loved one can continue to live independently at home.
We can show you how to avoid any exit fees levied by your existing provider. If you use all of your subsidies, you won’t be charged any exit costs; they can only be taken from funds that haven’t been used.
Call us at 0405 519 178 to learn more about how this works or how Iconic Care differs from your existing provider.
