I have found HomeMade’s staff to be cheerful, helpful, obliging whenever I have spoken to them, nothing I asked seems to faze them. Written requests/comments are responded to speedily. Great organisation, I am pleased to recommend them for your Home Care Package.

HomeMade have been very helpful. Being new to my aged care package, HomeMade have very successfully guided me through the program to gain access to so many useful things, such as food delivery, exercise programs and help around the house and garden. I still have more items to access, but have no doubt it will happen.

Only a client for a few months but most impressed with the web page which allows me to know exactly how many funds are in my account at any time. Also extremely to upload invoices for reimbursement.
