Life Care offers a Fee for Service (FFS) option, allowing you to access our quality aged care and support services by paying privately. This self-funded model provides maximum flexibility and control, enabling you to tailor services precisely to your personal goals, lifestyle, and preferences, without the need for government assessments or eligibility for subsidies.
Our Fee for Service option provides an immediate and flexible solution if you:
Are not eligible for government-funded aged care services.
Wish to start services immediately without waiting for My Aged Care assessments or the allocation of government packages.
Want to supplement your existing government-funded package (like a Home Care Package, Support at Home Program or CHSP) with additional hours or different types of support.
Are with another provider who is unable to offer a particular service you require.
Prefer complete discretion over the type, timing, or frequency of the care you receive.
