Speak with one of our friendly self-management specialists based in Australia to find out if HomeMade is the right fit to help you manage your home care package. Our self-management customers could receive up to 15 extra hours of support a fortnight**
Dear Home Care Recipient,
You’ve raised children, run businesses, bought houses, and maybe even self-managed your super. You deserve to continue to make decisions about your own life.
Unfortunately, most home care recipients are put onto a provider-managed solution by default. These traditional providers control how you spend your money, decide who comes into your home, and take as much as 35% of your package!
Let me ask you, do any of these sound familiar?
You’re not happy with the exorbitant fees, and feel like you should be getting more from your home care package
You’re not happy with your home care plan, you want more of a say in what you spend on and what services you get
You’re not happy with the inconsistent, unreliable, unqualified workers who get sent to your home (when they actually show up!)
You’re not happy with the lack of transparency of where your home care money goes or your current fee structure
You’re not happy with the customer service you get, and find you need to regularly follow up for reimbursements and invoice payments
Self-management gives back your control and choice.
Our mission at HomeMade is to help you get the most of your home care package so you can stay in your community and home longer.
If you’d like an obligation-free consultation with one of our friendly self-management specialists, just click the button on this page and we’ll answer all of your questions.
To living life on your terms,
General Manager

Steve
I am self managing through HomeMade, only applied for a package May 2023, granted in August 2023, assessment from HomeMade on my requirements and approved to self manage, have found it quite straightforward and very helpful. I have just had my 90th birthday and am still confident to continue self managing, thanks to HomeMade.
Wilma
I made a very good decision when I decided to self manage my package with Homemade. We have talked about what is best for my husband and how to manage the funds efficiently. On top of that, Homemade doesn’t have any hidden fees, unlike most companies that charge more. I feel in control, and they have helped us every step of the way. I can’t explain how happy I am – I recommend family and friends to join Homemade.
Manee
I manage my mum’s package through HomeMade…yes it’s easy and I recommended it to my friend for his mum.
Anne
I am with HomeMade. They are wonderful. I self manage my partners’ aged care and they are very caring and it really is easy to do as they handle all invoices, I just employ who I need and they send their invoices directly to HomeMade and fees are the best around.
Carol
I have a lot more peace of mind now I have decided to go with HomeMade. It will give me choice and control over how my package is used. I will not be independent according to other people’s standards and rules. This way, I will be doing it my way.
Irene
…they have the platform that enables you to do it yourself. They make sure you get to review invoices for approval and make sure your caregivers or services are paid and lots more too. It costs money to have that portal available to us. I am a newbie to them and so far, it has been excellent.
Christine
It’s been a few months. So far, I am very satisfied. I found the signing up process to be smooth, professional, friendly, informative, and respond very fast. I am being treated very well.
Elizabeth
So happy with them and I am able to self manage my mum’s care package by using wonderful Mable carers.

Self-management may be a good fit for you if you have the time, ability, and skills to manage your home care services and want to have control and flexibility over your care while staying in your home.
However, if you experience cognitive decline, receive a diagnosis of a health condition, require extra support, or have difficulty with daily tasks such as showing or eating adequately, self-management may no longer be suitable.
Also, if you are on the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), you are not eligible for self-management with HomeMade.
HomeMade is a home care package provider who gives recipients the opportunity to self-manage their package. We work alongside you to make sure you are getting the most out of your HomeCare package. If you decide self-management is right for you, we will set up a robust support plan and budget so that you have clear guidance about what what services to engage in with that fits your home care package level. We will provide you with the tools to successfully manage the package independently… you won’t hear from us like a traditional case manager as we really advocate for you to drive your HCP. We are of course here to support you if your situation changes or if you need to discuss complex situations.
When you self-manage with HomeMade you secure a low admin fee of 15% + support fee, no matter your homecare package level.

*HomeMade fees are based on the fees paid annually by a Self Management service customer on a Level 4 package. This is compared with the maximum total fees a traditional provider can charge a person on a Level 4 Home Care Package, as at January 2025.
**HomeMade hours per fortnight are based on a Self Management customer on a Level 4 package that is paying the average weekday hourly agreed rate for social support and domestic assistance in aged care and disability support observed on the Mable platform from 30 June 2024 to 1 January 2025. Mable is part of the same group of companies as HomeMade. This is compared with the hours of support that a person on a Level 4 package can get when paying the maximum total fees permitted and the average rate per hour charged by a support worker for cleaning and household tasks at three of the largest traditional home care providers in Australia, as at January 2025.
^HomeMade Fully Coordinated is a self-managed service model and as such, does not include out-of-hours support, and some service exclusions apply, such as equipment trials. As with all HomeMade models, customer suitability will be assessed before commencement.
