Love being at home? Our in-home care gives you the security and service you need 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. Enjoy the comfort and independence of your own home and staying in your community by calling our in-home care program.
Coordinated programs are delivered by our trained employees who will get to know you and your specific likes and dislikes. You’ll be reassured that someone familiar is coming to your door. Our programs are individually tailored to your circumstances and preferences.
If you and your family have made the decision that Residential Aged Care (formerly known as ‘a nursing home’) is not right for you, but you are no longer possible for you to manage at home without assistance, in-home care might be the best solution for you. We can help you with personal and household tasks, and review your needs with you. Your feedback will ensure that we are offering you the help you need, and that you have choice and control in your decisions.
Royal Freemasons accept clients of all ages, who are funded by the Australian Government, NDIS, TAC or their own private means.

A Home Care Package is a coordinated package of services tailored to meet your specific care needs. Our packages are coordinated by a home care team, with funding provided by the Australian Government.
The range of services available includes care, support and clinical liaison so you can continue to live at home. We can work with you, so you have the best possible choice and flexibility in the way care and support are provided.
The basic fee you will be asked to contribute depends on your income and personal circumstances. If you are on the basic rate of pension, your maximum contribution will be 17.5 per cent of the single pension. If you are on a higher income you may be asked to contribute a higher amount.
There are limits on the amount of fees that are income-tested:
The annual caps are calculated by the Government. There is also a lifetime cap for income-tested care fees up to a total of $60,000.
The Department of Social Services' website www.myagedcare.gov.au has further details on the cost including how to estimate a fee. They can also be contacted on 1800 200 422.
