Aged Services

Personalised extended care for frail older people in their home

An Extended Aged Care at Home package (EACH) is an Australian Government funded program to provide high level care in the home.

EACH packages are very flexible and are designed to help with individual care needs. Generally if a client requires high level care because of complications from a chronic health condition, they could be eligible for an EACH package.
The types of services that can be provided through this package of care are broad and include the appointment of a Case Manager and the cost of allied health support.

A Case Manager will assist clients to identify their support needs. Services are identified and tailored to meet their care requirements within the available resources and funding. Case Managers can then provide a single point of contact for clients, their carers and service providers, advocate for their rights and monitor their ongoing and changing needs. Case Managers will work with the client and their family and carers to identify support needs and develop a plan to maximise the clients independence.

Services may include but are not limited to the following:

• Registered nursing care
• Care by an allied health professional such as a physiotherapist, podiatrist or other type of allied health care
• Personal care
• Transport to appointments
• Social support
• Home help
• Assistance with oxygen and/or enteral feeding

To be eligible for an EACH package, clients must be referred to the Aged Care Assessment Service for an eligibility assessment for at least high level care, and have an expressed desire to receive the care in your home.

Packaged care programs such as EACH attract a client contribution in the form of a negotiated fee.
