Finding the right level of specialist dementia care in the home can be challenging; and navigating the age care support process can be confusing, overwhelming and at times stressful. This is why, as dementia care experts, we are here to help you every step of the way. We know, first-hand, just how important it is for our clients to receive high-quality support not just in the community but in the home as well.
Our dedicated team at Dementiavirast are here to offer both personalized community support (Commonwealth Home Support Program) and in-home care (Home Care packages) to our existing and new clients who would like to join us now. Our purpose is to keep you or your loved one in your own home for as long as possible with the necessary supports in place.
There's no place like home
Our aim is to help you or your family member stay connected and in your community, at home for as long as possible. Home-based care is our preference as it keeps you connected to your community, we won't recommend the move into residential care until it is in your best interests to do so.

How is my Home Care Package funded?
Your Package is Government-subsidized and means-tested. The total amount of a Home Care package comprises of the Australian Government subsidy and your contribution.
The Government payment differs depending on the level of in-home care support (ranging from Home Care Package level 1 – 4).
The Government contribution is paid directly to us, your Home Care Provider, and we will work with you to personalize your Home Care Package to meet your specific needs, goals and preferences.
Government Funding
Your home care package is a Government subsidy designed to support you in your own home. There are four levels of home care package available. Level 3 and 4 are often referred to as high level packages and are the most common for people living with dementia.
Income-Testing Fee
The income-tested fee is determined by the Government and will be based on your individual income.
Basic Daily Fee
The basic daily fee provides an opportunity for you to contribute to your care. A maximum fee is set by the Government, and should you choose to contribute a fee when designing your care plan, the extra funds will allow you to access more services under your plan. This option can be discussed with your care manager when designing your plan.
Top-Up Package
If the level of your package does not meet all of your needs, you can choose to top up your package.
