Learn more about our range of in home aged and health care services.

We can provide a comprehensive range of health and aged care services in the home, and in the community. Our services include:

  • In home aged care services: Our services include a little help with daily tasks such as preparing meals and getting dressed, through to simple or complex nursing care.
  • In home allied health services: Support to restore and maintain your strength, mobility and balance, so you can live safely and independently at home.
  • In home nursing services: Tailored nursing services including chronic disease support, wound management and hospital level care.
  • Health care programs: Holistic health care programs and hospital level care at home.

We have a large range of in home aged care services designed to help you stay independent, and do the things you love at home.  Our services are funded by the Australian Government through various programs, or you can choose to pay for them privately. Silverchain also provides funded in home health care in Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland and Victoria. 

Our aged care services can be subsidised by the Australian Government, which means you may be expected to contribute to the cost of your care if you can afford to do so.

Our health services are funded by state governments and local health networks and are available in certain areas. This means that they are generally free for people with an approved referral. You can also choose to privately pay for our services if you wish. Learn more about our fees and charges
The first step is to contact My Aged Care (MAC) at 1800 200 422 and ask for an assessment. See more on the steps to applying for funded aged care services. You can also see here for more details about My Aged Care.

The Australian Government allocates Support at Home funding based on how urgently you need care. If you’re waiting for funding longer than the average waiting time, you may be able to access some of your funding earlier. See more information about priority ratings.

Alternatively, you may be able to receive Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) services while waiting for Support at Home funding. You can also pay privately for your aged care services without the wait.

Depending on what state you live in, we can also help you access state government funded health care such as Nursing Care and Specialist Pallative Care. See our range of health care services here.

Silverchain provides a range of in home health and aged care services privately. You do not need to have government funding or be on a waiting list to receive our care. Our services are designed to provide you with greater flexibility and choice so you can get the care you need, when you need it.
