We understand the importance of staying at home in your familiar environment: our Community Services Team can help you safely maintain your independence and daily routine, feeling confident doing so.
Vasey RSL Care is an approved provider of the government's Support at Home program and the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) Veterans’ Home Care (VHC). Our self-funded Home Care services give you complete flexibility and peace of mind. There's no ongoing commitment; you can choose support as you need it, r arrange regular visits to suit your routine. Either way, we'll help you continue living safely and independently at home.
From 1 November 2025, the Australian Government will introduce the Support at Home Program, a new way of delivering aged care services to help older Australians live independently, safely, and comfortably in their own homes. This program is part of the national aged care reform and will replace existing home support systems, creating a simpler, fairer and more flexible approach to care.
Funding is based on an assessment of your needs, made by the Aged Care Single Assessment System (formerly ACAT). This assessment determines what level of funding you will receive – from Level 1 (lowest) to 8 (highest).
Our program provides a wide range of tailored services designed to help you live comfortably and confidently at home. Based on your individual assessment, you may access:
Services are flexible and can be adjusted at any time to suit your changing needs.
Level 1 Example:
Stan is an 83-year-old single man who is still driving and active in the community. However, he has become aware of increased risk in undertaking some tasks around the home and feels he needs assistance.
Level 2 Example:
Leo is a 74-year-old veteran, married to Ellen. Leo loves lawn bowls but some recent health issues have stopped him taking part. His Support at Home services are focused on getting him back to health.
Level 3 Example:
Joyce is a 92-year-old war widow who lives alone. Her family say she is young at heart, but they are concerned about her as they live a few hours away.
Level 4 Example:
Peggy is 85 and a widow and, despite her high care needs, she is determined to stay in her own home. She has had recent eye surgery and needs extra assistance at the moment.
Spending quality time with our loved ones is an important goal for us all.
Self-funded home care is ideal for those…
