Want to know more?

Call or get a family member to phone My Aged Care on 1800 200 422. You can also log into the My Aged Care website and view the services available. Once you have contacted us, we will meet with you to assess your individual needs and explain more fully how the service works in your own home.

What will it cost?

The Australian Government subsidises a range of Aged Care services in Australia. Services Australia will advise you on what you need to contribute to your service, based on your individual financial circumstances. Each person has different needs and circumstances and therefore, My Aged Care will asses and determine your level. The funding program or package through which you access aged care services at home will determine how much you will need to pay. Fees will be discussed with you before you receive the relevant services.

Our Services

Nhulundu Health Service Aged Care Programs provide three service delivery options to people who are aged, or their carers. These may take the form of any of the below programs – or a combination of services from each program to meet your specific needs.

Support at Home Program:

This program helps people live independently in their own homes for as long as they can. From 1 November 2025, the Australian Government’s new Support at Home program replaces Home Care Packages, providing a subsidy to Nhulundu Health Service to deliver in-home aged care services including clinical care, independence support, and everyday living assistance.

Commonwealth Home Support Program:

This program is an entry-level home help program for older people who need some help with daily tasks to live independently at home. The Commonwealth Home Support Programme provides various services, including regular help for everyday needs and short-term assistance for high-level support.
