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.
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.
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.
We've helped over 135,000 families across Australia to find the quality aged care they deserve. Real life, real stories, real people. And here's what they had to say about us:
“Desi was so informative, answering all my questions. Nothing was too much trouble to explain. Set up an appointment with a provider who I speak to next Monday 30th March 2026. Desi reassured me it would all be completed by my deadline on 9th April. Thank you Desi.”

A Transitioned Home Care Package Level 4 supports people with high-level care needs. You’re allocated $63,758.20 per year in funding.
Our dedicated Care Advisers can further explain how this all works, before matching you with a trusted provider who can maximise your funding.

No. CareAbout’s aged care placement service is 100% free and independent for customers. We vigorously vet the select providers we work with. For each successful referral, we’re paid a fee from the provider. This is how we’re able to continue CareAbout and helping older Australians and their families nationwide. There’s no obligation either – you’re free to choose any provider you like.
If you’re already the recipient of a Home Care Package, your package remains unchanged.
You’re automatically transitioned to Support at Home (SAH), otherwise referred to as “grandfathered in” under the new SAH aged care reform, which automatically applies to new entrants. Either way, CareAbout can help you transition, find and/or switch to a better provider.
Most families are matched within one phone call, which typically takes between 20-30 minutes (of course, every call is personal and will vary based on the extent of your needs). Our dedicated Care Advisers know which providers have availability in your area and only match you based on your specific needs, allocated budget and personal preferences.
Yes. CareAbout handles the entire switching process, which includes exit fees, the timing of your transition, and of course, ensures there’s no gap in your care. Many families switch to get better service or lower fees, which we can also explain via a freecall to 13 13 00.
