Self-Managed Homecare Package Providers

When it comes to finding home care package providers, self-managed options offer a level of control and flexibility that traditional providers often can’t match. With a self-managed package, you get the freedom to choose who provides your care, when they provide it and what services you receive. Best of all, our low fees mean you can make your funding go further, giving you more care hours and more flexibility.

Think of a self-managed home care package as a way to take control of your care. You’re not tied down to a specific set of services or providers — you can decide what works best for you. Whether you need help with daily tasks, personal care or specialised services, you have the flexibility to choose exactly what you need.

And here’s the best part: because self-managed packages come with lower admin fees compared to traditional providers, more of your funding goes directly to your care. With Homecare My Way, that means you get more care hours and more control over your budget.
