How CareAbout Works
3 steps to match with the right provider
Tell Us About Yourself And Your Situation
Simply complete a short online questionnaire (it only takes a few minutes). 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
Phone
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.

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.
