Here, we’ll ask about your current My Aged Care (MAC) funding, your Home Care Package (Level 1-4) or Support at Home (Classifications 1-8), your location, and of course, the kind of support you’re looking for. Whether it’s for nursing, domestic help, or transport – there are no wrong answers.

Speak With A Real Person
One of our dedicated, expert-led Care Advisers will call you at a time that best works for you. With absolutely no pressure or rush, our dedicated team takes the careful time to genuinely understand yourself and your situation. Whether you’re newly approved for Support at Home, under a transitional Home Care Package, looking to switch from an existing provider, or find quality in-home aged care for your loved one – we’re here for all of it. And it’s most important to us, that you feel seen and heard.
People-first approach

Connect With A Care Provider You Can Trust
Based on everything you disclose with us, we’ll recommend a quality Support at Home provider from our handpicked network of vetted providers. If we wouldn’t leave our loved ones to them, then we definitely wouldn’t leave them to you. When you agree with our recommendation, we’ll handle the introduction and the paperwork. But if it doesn’t feel right, we’ll always have a back-up plan with another option. And all of this comes at zero cost to you.

Our services across Canberra
From everyday assistance to specialised care, find support that fits your life at home.
Nursing care
Canberra’s health landscape requires specialised nursing support, particularly given the city’s diverse population and the need for culturally sensitive care. Our carefully vetted providers offer comprehensive nursing care that goes beyond basic medical assistance. From managing complex health conditions influenced by our local environment to providing culturally sensitive care for Indigenous and multicultural communities, we connect you with nursing professionals who understand the specific health needs of Canberrans.
Personal care
Independence is a core value in the ACT. Our personal care providers focus on maintaining dignity and self-sufficiency. We understand that personal care in Canberra means more than just assistance – it’s about preserving individual identity, respecting personal space and supporting seniors to continue living life on their own terms.
Respite Care
Recognising the unique pressures faced by Canberra families, our respite care services provide critical support. We help families find flexible care solutions that accommodate Canberra’s busy lifestyle and the needs of those living in both urban and regional areas.
Allied health & therapeutic services
Canberra’s diverse environment requires adaptive health support. Our providers offer specialised allied health services that consider the area’s unique lifestyle. From rehabilitation services that help seniors maintain mobility in urban and rural settings to therapeutic support addressing specific health challenges for ACT seniors.
Meals & nutrition
Nutrition in Canberra goes beyond mere meal preparation. We connect you with providers who understand the dietary nuances of ACT seniors – from culturally diverse meal options to nutrition that supports health in our climate and lifestyle.
Domestic assistance
Home maintenance in the ACT requires specific expertise. Our providers offer domestic assistance that takes into account the unique challenges of Canberra’s environment – from managing seasonal changes to maintaining homes in urban and suburban settings.
Companion Care
Social connection is vital in a city like Canberra, where families often live far apart. Our companion care services focus on combating isolation, particularly for seniors in suburban and regional areas. We prioritise providers who understand the importance of meaningful social engagement in maintaining mental and emotional well-being.

Precision matching for Canberra’s diverse lifestyles
Our matching process goes beyond standard care services by deeply understanding the specific needs of Canberra seniors. We consider the intricate details of your lifestyle – whether you’re enjoying retirement in a tranquil Belconnen home, living in a modern Kingston apartment, or settling in a quiet suburban setting like Tuggeranong. Care isn’t just about services; it’s about preserving your independence and maintaining the quality of life that makes Canberra special.
Continuous support
Our commitment extends far beyond the initial connection. We implement a comprehensive follow-up process specifically designed for Canberra’s community-focused environment. Regular check-ins ensure your care remains adaptive to the changing needs of ACT seniors.

The CareAbout team was thorough
The CareAbout team was thorough and very helpful with matching my dad with the right care provider. They asked a number of questions in relation to my dad and what care he would require moving forward. Would recommend CareAbout if you're looking into a care provider or wanting to change care providers.

Home Care for Dad
CareAbout made it so easy to find a nursing home
I was desperately looking for a nursing home that can provide respite care for my dad. Thankfully CareAbout has made it so easy. With just a few phone calls in the morning I was given a list of the suitable nursing homes, and in the afternoon I was able to find one that can accept my dad. Thank you for a great service!
Hung Bui
Nursing Home
Absolutely outstanding help and support
To be honest I didn’t expect much from CareAbout as I thought it would be an online only support, however my expectations were soon exceeded with the quality of help, support and continuous phone call follow ups to make sure I found an aged care facility for my dad. Billy made the process so easy and took the stress out of finding a suitable aged care facility.
