How Care Management Can Help You

What is a Care Designer?

A Care Designer is always a senior Registered Nurse. They are your dedicated partner who develops and oversees your care plan, manages the roster, and ensures we are meeting your specific goals, whether that is remaining independent at home or accessing the community.

How does Care Management work with the new Support at Home Program?

Under Support at Home, Care Management is a vital service to help you coordinate your distinct funding budgets (Clinical, Independence, and Everyday Living). We help you plan your quarterly budget so you don't run short on essential services.

Can I access Care Management privately?

Absolutely. Many families choose to pay privately for a Care Designer to oversee a loved one's care, especially if they live interstate or have complex medical needs. We provide the same level of clinical oversight and advocacy regardless of how the service is funded.

Can you support both NDIS and Aged Care in one household?

Yes. We are experienced in managing "mixed funding" households. If one family member is on the NDIS and another is accessing Support at Home, your Care Designer can coordinate rosters to minimise disruption and streamline communication.

Do you charge for Care Management?

Yes. For Support at Home clients, this is paid from your funding budget. For NDIS participants, it is covered under relevant support items. For private clients, we offer a transparent fee structure. We ensure you understand all costs before care begins.

What happens if there is an emergency after hours?

You are never alone. Our Care Services Team is available 24/7, 365 days a year. If a crisis occurs or you need urgent advice, you can call and speak to a team member who knows your care plan—not an answering machine.
