Aged Care Services

As of 1 November 2025, the Support at Home program (which replaced the former Home Care Packages program) allows for the use of contractors, particularly through providers that offer self-managed or flexible care models. These programs enable you to choose your own service providers—including independent contractors such as Contenta Care for cleaning, gardening, or support work—rather than being restricted to the staff employed by a traditional case-managed provider. 

At Contenta Care, our mission is to support older Australians in living with dignity, independence, and connection to their community. We believe that ageing should be a time of comfort, choice, and respect—and we’re here to make that possible through compassionate, person-centred care.

Please contact us directly to find out if we can work together with your Agency.
