Home Care Delivery

Home Care Packages support your ability to remain independent and live in your own home as long as possible. Home Care Packages are funded by the government and offer a wide range of services so you can choose what suits your individual needs.
MDHSS Home Care Services are flexible and enable choice and control to support you and your unique needs.
This service enables the needs of carers in the Mallacoota and district community to be met, without the person being cared for having to leave the community. The aim of the program is to contribute to the support and maintenance of caring relationships between carers and their dependent family members or friends. MDHSS facilitates access by carers to information, respite and other support, or assistance appropriate to their individual needs and circumstances, and those of the people for whom they care.
If you have higher care needs and are considering accessing Home Care, MDHSS will assist you in contacting My Aged Care for further assistance with the care type you are eligible for.
Clients receiving a Home Care Package have complex care needs over and above the mainstream Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) Services.
You are welcome to have someone else perhaps a friend, MDHSS Community Nurse, family member or your care attend your assessment for extra support.
Flexible Respite at home and Centre-based Respite
In addition MDHSS provides respite services for carers of:
People with dementia
People with dementia and challenging behaviour
Frail older Australians (65 years and over, or 50 years and over for Indigenous Australians)
Younger people (under 65) with moderate, severe or profound disabilities who are living at home

To keep enjoying the lifestyle you want. MDHSS provides a range of in-home Aged Care Services which are tailored personally to you and your needs.
