We can prepare food, help you get organised, do things around the house, ask a doctor to visit and help with showering and dressing. It can be a little or a lot, it’s up to you.
We’ll do just about anything to make your day easier and more enjoyable.
We’re local people providing local care, always with total respect. We understand that being reliable is incredibly important. So you’ll see a familiar support person at the same time, every time. We look forward to getting to know you and having a laugh along the way.

We’re happy to help you get wherever you’d like to go. We offer transport and assistance with shopping, getting you to medical appointments or helping you attend social activities.
We offer professional nursing, allied health and other therapies. Have peace of mind knowing your health needs will be taken care of, in the comfort and privacy of your home.
What could make life easier? We’re happy to help you purchase specialist equipment or organise your home alterations, so you can continue staying independently in your home.
With complete care and respect, we can help you with showering, dressing and getting around your home. We’ll help you prepare your meals and ensure you enjoy meal times – whatever you need a hand with.
Sometimes it’s much easier to chat in person. We’re happy to come and meet with you and your family to explain what we do and answer any questions. It would be great to get to know a bit about you so we can let you know how we could support your lifestyle. Of course this is a free consultation and there’s no obligation at all.

Lucy’s secrects to a long life are: “True love, chocolate, wine, brandy and having your family by your side.” That advice must be good because the radiant Lucy does not look 100!

At Lutheran Services, we genuinely really want you to be happy. So we take the time to tailor our Home Care services to really meet your needs. We’ll come up with a plan together and make sure it all suits you.
The first step is finding out if you can get government funding. To do this you need to be assessed by your local Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). You can arrange an appointment by:
Confused about where to start? Give us a call on 1800 960 433 and we’ll talk you through it.
There are four levels of Home Care packages which are provided through federal government funding. You will be assessed by the ACAT team as to whether you receive a basic, low, intermediate or high level of support. We can explain it all to you, the first step is getting your ACAT assessment.
The government funds most of the cost and sets a cap on the maximum fees you would pay. Fees are determined by your income, not your assets. If you are a full pensioner, the maximum basic daily fee is about $10 a day. This fee may change in line with the twice-yearly changes to the age pension. If you’re not a full pensioner, you may be asked to pay a contribution in addition to the basic daily fee.
Financial hardship assistance is available in some circumstances, and other financial assistance (for example, oxygen supplements) may be available. The My Aged Care website has detailed information about income-tested fees and a fee estimator.
You can receive Private Home Care services. Whatever your needs or situation, there is a simple way to get the in-home help you want by purchasing your own Private Home Care services.
This might suit you if you are:
Yes, you can. You might get funding for a certain amount of care and then want to pay for extra visits on top of that. Top up services are available to you at our standard Lutheran Services rates.
We’ll meet you at your home and together we’ll make a care plan that suits you. We’ll ask you about your lifestyle and the things you enjoy doing. We believe personal goals are an important part of your care plan too. What do you want to be able to do? We’re here to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and be as independent as comfortably possible.
We’d love to hear from you and answer all your questions about home care. Give us a call on 1800 960 433 or fill out the form and we’ll be in touch shortly.
