Community

Program

Having good social connections is essential for all aspects of your health, especially as you aged. People First Healthcare can support you to improve your social connections and connect with your community for your wellbeing. An outing or a chat over a cup of coffee with a caring and friendly volunteer could become a highlight of your week, and give you the confidence to meet new people.

"Thank you People First Healthcare for providing professional services for those who need that extra support to live life to its fullest. It’s nice to find a team that really cares for its clients and their well-being, while providing the best care possible. Thank you PFH team!"

"Each and every carer was kind, gentle and cared for me in the very best of ways. My case manager excelled in her duties. People First Healthcare have enabled me to maintain my independence in my own home these past years although I was completely wheelchair bound. I am ever so grateful."

Home Care Packages​

A Home Care Package is a government-funded package of care and services that helps you live independently in your own home. It is designed to meet your personal needs – whether that involves a lot of support or a little.

Commonwealth Home Support

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) helps senior Australians access entry-level support services to live independently and safely at home. Instead of paying full cost for home care services, you may only need to pay a contribution towards each service you use.

CHSP works with you to maintain your independence rather than doing things for you.

Private Funding

Being able to continue living at home is one of the most important and challenging things many older Australians and their families make decisions about every day. There may be situations where you need, or prefer, to use a provider that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government.
