Police HomeCare enjoyed significant growth over the quarter, welcoming new clients and staff. We are proud to have completed our NDIS audit, meeting all Practice Standards.
A major change is coming for aged care. Home Care Packages will transition to the new Support at Home program from 1 November 2025. We are inviting clients to group information sessions, and our Aged Care team is always available to talk you through what it means for you.

Support at Home is coming in November 2025
From early November 2025 the Australian Government introduces the Support at Home program, responding to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety. It is designed to help older Australians live independently and safely at home for longer.
The current four level Home Care Package system will move to eight new care classifications, with funding ranging from around $11,000 to $78,000 depending on your assessed needs. There will also be access to the Assistive Technology and Home Modifications Scheme, a Restorative Care Pathway and an End of Life Pathway.
Police HomeCare clients can expect a smooth transition with no disruption to services. Our team is available on (08) 8155 5222 for any questions.
