Home Care Services in Darwin

Considered the Australian gateway to Asia, Darwin is a colourful, bustling city defined by its diversity and community-centred spirit. People from more than 60 nationalities live in Darwin, and those many unique backgrounds swirl together to create a truly eclectic scene brimming with world-famous street markets, cultural festivals and other community happenings.

Darwin’s tropical climate and beautiful landscape add more layers to the city’s charm, making it a popular destination for tourists and older people entering their retirement years. The vast majority of seniors these days prefer their own homes over aged care facilities, and Darwin’s weather, affordability, and active social scene make it an ideal spot to settle down and enjoy a high quality of life.

Aged care service providers in Darwin help older people live safely and independently in their homes. Support workers offer a wide range of services covering everything from basic and low-level care needs (such as meal preparation) to high-level care needs such as dementia care. As support services become increasingly accessible through government programs and Home Care Packages, older Australians in Darwin can receive the quality care they deserve while enjoying all the unique experiences the Northern Territory has to offer.

My Mum loves her caregiver and I can tell she is in good hands. Recently, she had a fall and her caregiver provided mobility aids to help Mum get around. The CareSide even arranged for a new bed to ensure she could get in and out safely, and organised a physiotherapist to assist with her balance.

Get Better Value For Your Home Care Package in Darwin

On average, The CareSide is 25% less expensive than other home care providers. That directly translates into more hours of home care for our clients. We charge a flat 17% rate for self-managed care and a 20% rate for fully managed care, meaning our clients have more funding in their Home Care Packages for actual care—no matter their package level.

There are no entry or exit fees, no consultation fees, no add-on invoices, and no hidden fees or surprise care costs. Our monthly financial statements are clear and simple to understand, and you can stop or change your plan at any time.

So how do we do it?

We have developed proprietary software that automates administrative functions, effectively eliminating the need for large teams of back-office staff. Our operating costs are simply much lower than other home care providers, and we pass those savings on to our clients. Here are other important details:

  • We directly employ all of the home carers on our care team and provide them with ongoing training in both general and specialist care. We never use third-party carers or outside agencies. 

  • We always send the same caregiver, which allows them to establish personal connections with care recipients.

  • We schedule services and visits at your convenience at a precise time, rather than a four-hour window, so you and your family members never have to wait for your caregiver to arrive.
