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.

What self-managed
home care package providers are
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.
Benefits of self-managing your home care package
We know that everyone’s care needs are different — self-managing your package puts you in the driver’s seat. Here are some key reasons why people choose self-managed home care packages:
You’re in control
You choose who provides your care. Whether it’s a trusted local nurse, a personal assistant or a specialised service provider, the decision is yours.
More care for your money
With lower admin fees, you get more care hours from the same funding, which means more support for your everyday needs.
Tailored services
self-managed home care package providers like Homecare My Way offer you greater control. You can arrange your care to suit your lifestyle, whether that’s help with personal care, assistance with social activities or household tasks.
Full transparency
You manage your budget, so you can see exactly where your funding goes. This gives you peace of mind knowing your money is being spent where it matters most — on your care.
How to start self-managing your home care package
Starting a self-managed home care package might sound daunting, but we’re here to guide you through every step. Here’s how it works:
Eligibility and approval
First, you’ll need to be approved for a home care package through the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). This assessment will help determine what level of care you’re eligible for.
Switching to Homecare My Way
Once approved, switching to Homecare My Way is simple. We’ll handle the paperwork and help you make a smooth transition to self-management.
Self-managing your home care package
From there, you can start hiring the care providers you prefer. Whether you need assistance with daily activities or specialised care, we’ll provide all the support you need to manage payments, compliance and scheduling.
Updating your care plan
