SELF MANAGED HOME CARE SUPPORT.
All you need to know.
What is Self Managed Home Care?
Self managed home care empowers individuals to have greater control over their care services. With self-management, recipients can choose and manage their own support services, including hiring and coordinating caregivers, purchasing assistive equipment, and arranging other necessary services tailored to their needs. You choose to have more control over your home care services when you opt into self-management
Key benefits of self managed home care include:
Flexibility:
Recipients have the flexibility to choose their preferred caregivers and customise the care schedule according to their preferences and lifestyle.
Direct Control:
Individuals have direct control over how their allocated home care funds are spent, ensuring that services align with their specific needs and preferences.
Empowerment:
Self-management promotes independence and empowers recipients to actively participate in decision-making regarding their care and support services.
Tailored Services:
Recipients can tailor services to their unique requirements, ensuring that they receive the most suitable assistance to maintain their independence and quality of life.
Lower costs:
Self-Managing your support at home funding comes with less costs than when your provider manages your funding, therefore you can receive more hours of support
To self-manage your home care funding, individuals typically receive support and guidance from one of our dedicated care co-ordinators to navigate administrative tasks, financial management, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Making your own choices about which support worker comes into your home and when those care services are delivered is the best part about self-managing your hcp or support at home funding. There are a number of great places to source your own qualified support worker.
