Talk to Us About Community Nursing
Community nursing provides essential clinical care in the comfort of your home, helping people remain independent and avoid or delay the need for residential aged care.

Aged Care and Home Care Support

For older Canberrans, we provide home care services under the Commonwealth Home Support Programme and Home Care Packages (Levels 1-4), including personal care, domestic assistance, social support and community access, transport, and respite care. We work with My Aged Care approved pathways and support both consumer-directed and provider-managed home care packages.

NDIS Disability Support in Canberra

For NDIS participants, we deliver daily living assistance, community participation support, plan management and support coordination, allied health, and support with Specialist Disability Accommodation and Supported Independent Living arrangements.

Nursing Home Alternative and Ageing in Place

Many older Australians prefer to remain living at home rather than moving into residential aged care. Our in-home care services provide a safe, supportive alternative, helping you age in place with dignity and comfort. We can support individuals with high and complex care needs, including dementia care and mobility support.

Supporting Transitions Between Home and Residential Care

While we specialise in home-based care, we understand that for some individuals, residential aged care may become necessary. We can provide information about local aged care options, support you through the Aged Care Assessment (ACAT) process, and provide respite care options before permanent residential care decisions are made.

Respite Care in Canberra

Caring for a loved one at home can be rewarding but demanding. Our respite care services give family carers the break they need — in-home respite, arranged residential respite, and emergency respite for unexpected situations. Respite is available through Home Care Packages, CHSP, NDIS funding, or private arrangements.
