Respite care provides temporary relief for caregivers, which could be families or friends of the aged care recipients, offering them a break while ensuring that the person they care for continues to receive professional and supportive aged care. This type of aged care can be arranged for just a few hours, several days, or longer periods, depending on the needs of the caregiver and the individual receiving care.

Home Care Packages are designed to cover essential care and support services that help older Australians live independently at home. However, there are some services that are not eligible for funding under the Package, including:

• Beauty Therapist Services: Treatments such as facials, manicures, and other cosmetic services.
• Hair Salon Visits: Costs associated with coloring, or styling at a salon.
• Luxury Items: Non-essential purchases such as entertainment subscriptions or holidays.
• Everyday Living Costs: Expenses like groceries, rent, or utility bills.

While these services and costs are not covered, Home Care Packages can provide support for a wide range of essential needs, helping you live safely and comfortably at home. YOu can learn more about the services that aren’t included under HCP guidelines here.
