What home care services are available in Melbourne

Melbourne families can access a full range of home care services through government funded programs like Support at Home and Home Care Packages, or through private in home care.

Personal care: Showering, dressing, grooming, and mobility assistance.

Nursing care at home: Wound care, medication management, and clinical monitoring.

Domestic assistance: Cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, and shopping.

Respite care: Temporary support so family carers can rest.

Dementia support: Specialised aged care from trained aged care professionals.

Post hospital care: Recovery support after discharge or surgery.

The quality of these home care services depends entirely on the aged care provider delivering them and the size of their aged care specific workforce across Melbourne.

Why a Melbourne based home care provider matters

A home care provider based in Melbourne with a local aged care workforce delivers better home care than a national provider stretching a small team across the country. Here is why.

Local carers: Our aged care professionals live in Melbourne. They are not travelling from interstate to deliver your parent’s personal care. Proximity means punctuality, and punctuality means your elderly parent is not left waiting.

Local knowledge: A care worker who knows Camberwell is different from Oakleigh, who understands the local community, transport, and services, provides better home care support for older Australians and seniors ageing in place.

Workforce depth where it matters: Having the largest aged care specific workforce in Melbourne means we carry enough aged care workers in every region of the city to maintain continuity of care, provide trained replacements, and offer genuine carer matching without overstretching.

Families across Melbourne choose Chris Barnard Health because home care visits happen on time, carers stay consistent, and the aged care team communicates clearly. We do not just deliver home care services in Melbourne. We were built here.

Our head office is at 508 Waverley Road, Malvern East. Our aged care workforce lives across Melbourne. Our governance board brings over 75 combined years of aged care leadership.
