Support at Home Provider
What does self-management mean in home care?
Self-management gives you the freedom to take control of your Support at Home funds and how they are used. Instead of having a provider manage everything for you, you will take the lead in organising your supports, choosing who provides them, and deciding when and how they are delivered.
Even though you are managing the day-to-day aspects of your care, our team will work alongside you to provide the reassurance and support you may need.
What are the benefits?
Self-management offers a number of advantages, especially for those who want more flexibility and independence:

Meal Preparation
Your Support at Home package can support you with pre-prepared meals, to ensure you receive sufficient nutrition. Your package will pay for the cost of preparing and delivering the meals, whilst you will pay for the cost of the raw ingredients. Where possible, these two separate costs should be clearly outlined on your invoice.

hear from our happy clients.
After 4 years of managing my mum’s package through another provider, we finally found PlanCare, and we have been totally amazed at the helpfulness, understanding, kindness and empathy that we had not been able to find in another provider.
Giselle (WA)
Wonderfully simple and straightforward plan management, with a personal touch. PlanCare is great for parents of NDIS kids who need a streamlined way to take care of invoices and keep track of spending. Highly recommended.
Cam (VIC)
Really happy with everything that PlanCare has done for us over the last year. Easy communication, prompt payments, and quick replies to emails have made things so much better. Nothing ever seems like too much trouble.
Sophie (NSW)
My husband and I are both on packages that are administered by Plancare. We are more than satisfied with the efficient and friendly way that they conduct the business, and are particularly impressed by the prompt, helpful and friendly way that our Co-Care Partner follows up on all of our queries. PlanCare makes everything so easy, we are proudly part of their community and recommend them without hesitation.
Joan (QLD)
