Home Care Services in Melbourne

From the Melbourne Cricket Ground to the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne is home to some of Australia’s most iconic landmarks. It hosts global events such as the Australian Grand Prix and Australian Open, and despite its fickle weather, it’s a year-round vortex of arts, music, theatre and things to do.

Australians who choose to spend their retirement years in Melbourne or surrounding areas such as South Yarra, Brighton and Richmond certainly enjoy the Garden City’s charm, but at the same time, many older people need support services to remain independent and active in their day-to-day lives. Aged care services help older Australians maintain a high quality of life by delivering the exact level of care necessary for every recipient, from assisting with home care needs (such as meal preparation and showering) to facilitating outings around the city.

Government-funded programs and professional support workers empower seniors to stay in their own homes longer, meaning older people in Melbourne can receive the quality care they need while continuing to enjoy life in one of Australia’s most extraordinary cities.

Get Better Value For Your Home Care Package in Melbourne

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 caregivers on our care team and provide them with ongoing training in both general and specialist care. We never use third-party caregivers 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.
