Providing Appropriate
Home Care for Seniors
We offer support at home to older people from all
cultural backgrounds.
If you need support and assistance to continue living independently in your own home, a Home Care Package might be right for you. Home Care Packages are services for seniors that can assist you with your daily living needs. Home Care Packages are coordinated and tailored to meet your specific needs and goals, giving you choice and flexibility. The services may include assistance around your home, personal care, transport and meal services to name a few examples.
Our friendly bilingual staff are highly qualified, and have been caring for seniors from multicultural backgrounds for over 35 years. Our staff speak your language and understand your culture. Whilst AMCS specialise in working with multicultural communities, we provide support for all eligible seniors.
Call us if you have any questions about Home Care Packages on 03 8371 2301.
If you are aged 65 or more you can access a Home Care Package but you will need to be assessed first by an Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS). The ACAS team will talk to you about how well you are managing at home, and then provide you with a letter that tells you what level of home care package you have been approved to receive.
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 |
---|---|---|---|
Supports people with basic care needs |
Supports people with low-level care needs |
Supports people with intermediate care needs |
Supports people with high-level care needs |
You can contact My Aged Care directly to be referred to ACAS for an assessment. A referral can also be made by your doctor or community care service provider. If you want us to support you with this, please call us on 03 9689 9170 or email us using our contact form above.

(Fees updated and effective from July 2019.)
The Australian Government pays for most of the cost of aged care in Australia. You may be asked to contribute towards the cost of your care if you can afford to do so, however you will never be denied the care you need because you cannot afford it.
Any fees will be discussed during the care planning process and the agreed amount will be documented in your agreement with AMCS.
If you have questions or would like to speak to someone about Home Care Packages (or request a call back in your language) please get in touch with our friendly team between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm, Monday to Friday on 03 9689 9170 or email using our contact form above.
