About this support

Everyday household support

Domestic assistance can include cleaning, laundry, household chores, meal preparation and garden maintenance. The team works with you to identify the tasks that matter most and build support around your goals.

Move around your home more easily

Home modifications may help maintain or improve access around your space. Speak with the team about the assessment and professional advice needed before any changes are arranged.

Occupational therapy advice

JewishCare can connect you with an occupational therapist for home safety, assistive technology and access to your community. Recommendations are tailored to your own needs.

Care that understands you

Care Partners listen to you and your family to develop a person-centred plan. Services can be reviewed as needs change, within available funding and programme rules. Our team supports cultural needs; many staff speak Russian, Hebrew, Polish or Hungarian as well as English.

Funding and costs

Support may be arranged through an approved Support at Home package or privately, depending on the service and your circumstances. Ask the team about your options and the current price guide. Assessment, contributions and service availability must be confirmed for your situation.

Getting started

Contact JewishCare to discuss your needs. If you are enquiring on someone else’s behalf, make sure you have their permission. The current aged-care enquiry form accepts enquiries for yourself or another person and states a response within 2 business days.
