My Aged Care
Home Care Packages are a planned and case managed package or group of services, to support you to remain living independently at home.
My Aged Care
The Australian Government understands that most people prefer to live independently at home, but need some help with daily tasks.
Home support services and home care packages are federally funded and may be available to you. If you are just starting out, call us on 1300 363 654.
Who Is Eligible?
NovaCare provides support services to residents across the Hunter especially in the Newcastle, Port Stephens, Maitland and Lake Macquarie areas.
My Aged Care services and packages are for people aged 65 or over (or Aboriginal or Torres Straight Islander over 50) and have a current approved assessment by the Aged Care Assessment Team.
