Services That Meet You Where You Are

Getting started with Sensible Care is simple — and we’re here to help every step of the way.

1. Contact us: Give us a call or send us an email. We’ll have a friendly chat to understand your needs and answer any questions.
2. Free consultation: We’ll explain your options clearly, including government funding like Home Care Packages, the Support at Home program, or NDIS — depending on your situation.
3. We do the paperwork: If you decide to go ahead, we’ll guide you through the setup or switching process and handle the paperwork for you.

If you’re new to in-home care, don’t worry — we’re here to make it easy.



In-home care means getting the support you need while staying in your own home. This can include help with:

• Cleaning, cooking, and daily tasks
• Showering, dressing, and personal care
• Nursing care at home
• Transport to appointments
• Social visits and companionship
• Physiotherapy to help with strength, balance, and recovery
• Podiatry to help care for your feet and keep you mobile
• NDIS services if you are living with a disability — we support both self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants

We’ll take the time to understand what matters to you, and match you with the right supports.



We can also help you apply for government-funded care, like Home Care Packages, the new Support at Home program, or the NDIS, depending on your needs.

The Support at Home program is a new government initiative starting on 1 November 2025. It’s designed to help older Australians stay independent and live safely at home for longer.

This new program will replace the current Home Care Packages and Short-Term Restorative Care programs.

Key points:

• You’ll get a personalised care plan based on your needs.
• The government will provide a care budget every 3 months, which you can use for support services.
• Services can include help with showering, cleaning, cooking, nursing, transport, and more.
• There’s also extra funding for equipment like shower chairs or grab rails, and home changes like ramps or rails.
• You’ll have support from a care manager to help organise everything.

Already getting a Home Care Package?

Don’t worry — you won’t lose your services. You’ll move across to the new system automatically.

Yes, you can.

If you’re not happy with your current provider or just want a fresh start, you have the right to change at any time.

At Sensible Care, we make the switch simple and stress-free. We’ll guide you through the process, help with paperwork, and make sure your services continue without interruption.

Whether you’re with a Home Care Package provider or using the NDIS (self-managed or plan-managed), we’re here to help.
