How do I get home care in Adelaide?

Start with My Aged Care: call 1800 200 422 or apply online at myagedcare.gov.au for an aged care assessment. A family member or carer can do this for you. Once you're approved, you choose the provider who delivers your services.

What does home care cost in Adelaide?

Support at Home budgets are the same across Australia: from $2,757.89 to $20,073.50 a quarter, depending on your classification. The government pays most of the cost. For some services you pay a contribution, depending on the type of service and your income and assets. Clinical supports such as nursing are fully funded, and from 1 October 2026 so is personal care.

Who can get home care?

People assessed as eligible by an aged care assessor. Generally that means people aged 65 or older, or 50 or older for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Does Help Alliance cost anything?

No. Help Alliance is free for older people and families. You only pay for the services you receive, through your Support at Home budget and any contributions. We don't provide care ourselves.

How to choose a home care provider in Adelaide

You'll see this provider in your home, often every week. Ask:

Can you manage my Support at Home budget, or do you only deliver some services?
Which services can you start, and on which days?
Will I see the same carers each week?
What are your prices, and what will my contributions be?
How do you handle changes, complaints and cancellations?

The hardest part is usually finding one with room. Rather than calling down a list, send one request: only providers who can start when you need accept it.

How it works

Tell us what you need, where, and how it's funded. It takes about a minute.
Providers near you who offer that support see your request.
Those who can start when you need accept it, and contact you directly. You choose who to go with.
