Care at Home
CatholicCare supports older people across the Illawarra, Shoalhaven, Macarthur and Southern Highlands to remain safe, independent and connected while continuing to live at home.
Navigating aged care can feel overwhelming. You don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re just starting to explore support, waiting for funding, looking to change providers, or helping a loved one through the process, our team is here to make it easier to understand and easier to navigate.
With more than 40 years supporting older Australians, we take the time to understand what matters to you, and shape support around your individual needs, goals, and preferences.
Our approach
At CatholicCare, we’re more than a service provider. We help you understand your options, navigate My Aged Care, access funding, coordinate the right supports, and adapt as your needs change over time.
Guided by Catholic social teachings and proudly welcoming people of all faiths and cultural backgrounds, we deliver care with dignity, respect and compassion.
Where are you in your aged care journey?

How in-home aged care is funded
However you fund your care, you receive the same team, the same quality, and the same personalised support.
Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)
Best for: Entry-level help to stay independent
Entry-level government-funded support to help you stay independent at home. We provide CHSP services across our region.
Support at Home
Best for: Ongoing, coordinated support
Support at Home replaced Home Care Packages in November 2025. We can help you understand what’s changed and what it means for you.
Private Services
Best for: Immediate or flexible support while waiting for funding
Flexible, fee-for-service support, useful while you’re waiting for funding or if you’d prefer not to go through the aged care system.
The support we can provide
Our in-home services are shaped around what matters to you. These can span across clinical care, personal care, home and everyday living support.
Support you can trust
Our team is local, experienced, and walks with you every step of the way. From your first conversation to the day-to-day support that helps you stay independent, we focus on our relationship.
Whether you need entry-level support, coordinated care services, clinical care, or temporary private assistance while waiting for funding, our team is here to help.
We’ll take the time to understand your situation and guide you through your options.
