AccessCare

AccessCare AccessCare supports people to live independently in their own home and stay active in their community

AccessCare is an experienced provider of home care and support services managed by Kingston City Council in Melbourne. For 30 years, we have supported older people, people with disabilities and people who are homeless. We are dedicated to empowering our clients to continue living independently in their own homes and communities. We have earned a strong reputation for supporting people, including those with complex needs. Through our connection to local council, we have developed an unparalleled amount of industry knowledge and experience, which we use to ensure our clients receive care that addresses their unique and specific needs. In this way, we support our clients to remain in their own homes, surrounded by their pets, garden and community. Our friendly team of Aged Care Advisors is here to provide support, guidance and advice whenever it's needed, so if you have any questions about home care, AccessCare or My Aged Care, please get in touch on 1300 819 200.

This week, we acknowledge Homelessness Week🏡

Over 30,000 Victorians are without a home on any night - including 6,800 children. Many are living in cars, temporary shelters, or have nowhere to go at all. The top causes? Family violence, financial hardship, and the ongoing housing crisis.

Our free Community Connections Program (CCP) supports people in Kingston (and surrounding areas) experiencing homelessness or those who would like assistance accessing resources and information.

What a fantastic day out on our Community Bus trip to Cunningham’s for “Christmas in July”! Some of our wonderful clients – and a few festive staff too – got right into the spirit by dressing up and bringing the cheer.✨
Laughter, great food, and lots of smiles made it a day to remember. Thank you to everyone who joined in and helped make it so special! ❤️

Our Story

AccessCare has over 20 years’ experience and is run by local Council, so we are deeply connected to the community and can link you with the very best services available. We are known for quality and being able to support the needs of all people. So there’s no need to swap providers if your needs increase, as our qualified consultants will continue to adapt your support as needed. We don’t believe in setting time limits on your care. We care about you and meeting your care needs, not the clock!

We don’t offer direct care services ourselves. Instead, we help you plan a personalised care program, then source the services you need from a network of trusted providers. This gives you ultimate flexibility and control. Focus on living at home AccessCare’s approach ensures you have choice and control. We want to empower you to be involved in your care as you choose to be. This might mean we provide services to achieve your goals for you, achieve them together with you, or build your capacity to achieve them yourself. While residential care can be the right option for some people, our focus is on supporting people who have made the decision to stay at home for as long as possible. Planning your support When you become a client of AccessCare, you work with a case manager, who helps you identify your care goals and create a support plan that works toward achieving them. We then help you access the services you need from high quality healthhome and community care providers. Throughout this process, you’re in control: you make decisions about your own care, and you can have as little or as much involvement as you wish in the management of your support plan. At AccessCare we listen to your preferences and develop care plans that will achieve your goal as you intend — for example, if you do not have access to food and other daily living necessities. Depending on the level of involvement you wish to have, here are some of the options available: 6 week physiotherapy program to build strength and confidence to complete shopping independently Care worker can drive you to the shops and you complete the shopping together Care worker can shop on your behalf and bring groceries to your home Find out more about our SupportFirst case management approach.
