Home health & care

Assessment of care needs is the foundation of our home care system.

Anyone who is looking after someone with disability, a medical condition, mental illness, or an older person with care needs can access the Australian Government’s Carer Gateway services.

Everyone receiving home care support has the right to be safe, treated with dignity and respect, and receive high quality care and services.

As populations age and more older adults express a desire to remain in their own homes, the demand for home-based aged care services in Australia has continued to grow.

There are many changes occurring in the aged care sector, all of which are focused on putting the rights of older people first.

Before SunSmart campaigns began to change the relationship we have with the harsh Australian sun, many of today’s older people were exposed to strong ultraviolet (UV) radiation, often for many decades without realising the dangers.

Active ageing is more than physical movement.

As we age, staying active doesn’t have to mean intense workouts or gym memberships.
