Privately Funded Care at Home

Whether you’re waiting on a Support at Home package, don’t yet qualify for government funding, or simply want more choice and flexibility, our privately funded option gives you access to the same trusted, personalised support, starting when you need it.

If you’d prefer the flexibility of paying privately, without the caps, quarterly budgets, or “use it or lose it” rules that come with government-funded packages, you can opt to pay for the services fully from your own pocket.

Whatever brought you here, privately funded Support at Home means you can access our full range of services immediately, with no Government assessment required and no waiting list.

Why Choose Privately Funded Care with Chris Barnard Health?

No waiting, no assessment required

Skip the My Aged Care queue. Start receiving care as soon as you’re ready.

Complete flexibility

Choose exactly the services and hours that suit you, and adjust them as your needs change, without being tied to a quarterly government budget.

Top up your existing package

Already receiving a government-funded package but need a little extra? Privately funded services can top up your care so nothing is left uncovered.

The same trusted care team

Privately funded clients receive care from the same skilled, in-house workforce as our government-funded clients – one of the largest in Victoria. Every care worker is background-checked, reference-checked and trained in person-centred, best-practice aged care.

A dedicated Care Partner

You’ll be matched with a Care Partner who gets to know your routines, preferences and goals, and builds a personalised Care Plan around them – just as we do for every client.

Consistency you can count on

Once your care settles into a rhythm, our clients typically see the same Support Worker around 80% of the time, because familiarity is what makes care feel personal, not transactional.

What Privately Funded Support can include

Because it's privately funded, there are no restrictions on what your care can include, we help you build a plan around what actually matters to you.
