Home care packages
can be confusing
We understand that getting the support you or your loved one needs can be confusing. Our team of care managers and registered nurses can make it easier for you.
Getting a home care package is possible.
There are a few steps to getting a home care package (if you haven’t already) and the team at DANS will be most happy to discuss it with you and help get the ball rolling.
At a high level, the steps include undergoing an assessment (to check eligibility) with My Aged Care, followed by awaiting a decision on approval. If approved, you are placed in the National Priority System (NPS) queue to receive your package. Your place on the queue is dictated by when you were approved along with your level of priority / urgency.
Speak to DANS about what to expect with your assessment.

DANS will help make it easy for you.
Home Care Packages are delivered on a Consumer-Directed Care basis, meaning you or your loved one has a say in what services they receive, who provides them, and how their budget is managed. This ensures flexibility and choice.
You can select a registered Home Care Provider to administer the funding and services (like DANS).
Remember, it's possible to switch providers if needs change or if better services are offered elsewhere.
