A story of support: Being there when it matters most.

We first met a resident at a community pop-up while she was navigating the early stages of a lung cancer diagnosis, while waiting for her Support at Home assessment. Understanding that her condition was deteriorating, we didn't wait for a funding letter to begin our relationship. We visited her not as a service provider, but as a support system.

We sat with her to talk through her fears and provided her husband with a much-needed sounding board for his own worries about the future. Because we had built that foundation of trust, the moment her funding was assigned, she called us immediately. We commenced professional services within just three days.

We know that support starts long before your first service is booked.

If you’d like to talk through your situation, our HomeCaring Sutherland team is always here to listen.

A great turnout for a truly special day!

Our HomeCaring Sutherland team was honoured to co-host and sponsor the Cancer Survivorship Morning Tea. This event was about more than just tea and cake. It was a powerful morning of fundraising, raising awareness of services, and coming together to support those on their survivorship journey.

We were thrilled to have 50 people join us - including 40 direct community members. Seeing such a strong turnout reminds us why we do what we do.

A huge shoutout to Harry and all the industry supporters who made this happen. While we are proud of the work we do at HomeCaring, it is even more rewarding to step out and support the people in our local community, both as individuals and as partners. 🤝

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such an important cause. Sutherland, you showed up!

Are you ready to access government-funded home care but not sure where to start?

To begin your journey with My Aged Care, call 1800 200 422. It's a good idea to be prepared for the call because the person on the other end wants to hear the 'why.' Don't be afraid to be specific! They need real-life examples of the care required.

Once you’ve chatted, they'll arrange an assessment to determine the level of funding you require. Usually, this is an in-person assessment in your home, but phone assessments are sometimes offered.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the process, we’re here to support you. Contact us, and we'll guide you step by step through the entire process.

A special morning tea fundraiser event is happening tomorrow. Don't forget to book your spot!

HomeCaring Sutherland and Peak Health are hosting a morning tea, fundraiser, and information session focused on cancer survivorship in the Sutherland Shire.

Led by Brent Collier from Peak Health and the CanRecover Team, we are proud to be partnering in this event as a community service provider committed to supporting people beyond clinical care and into everyday living.

The session tomorrow will explore practical, evidence-based approaches across the cancer care continuum, including:

- Bone health
- Muscle mass and body composition
- Fatigue
- Lymphoedema
- Peripheral neuropathy and pain
- Quality of life

Whether you are a survivor, a carer, or someone currently on the journey, please join us for a cuppa and a chat. Let’s explore how to move beyond care and back into everyday living.

All proceeds from our fundraiser will go toward supporting local cancer services. We hope to see you there!

Waiting for funding? Here’s what to expect.

The ‘approved but waiting’ stage can be quite frustrating. It might feel like you and your family's lives are on hold.

To help replace that uncertainty with clarity, here’s a breakdown of how the process works:

- Funding is distributed based on the date of approval and the priority level. This is a first-come, first-served system on a national scale.

- Wait times can vary, typically ranging from 3 to over 9 months, depending on the level of care required.

- Make sure the contact details are up to date with My Aged Care.

If you have any questions about a letter, you've received or a status update that’s unclear, it’s best to contact My Aged Care directly.

Getting the most out of your care journey.

Navigating a care plan can often feel like learning a whole new language. But your plan should work for you, and we’re here to help you unlock the full potential of your support so you can focus on what truly matters: living life your way.

How our HomeCaring Sutherland team can help maximise your care:

- Expert navigation: We help you understand exactly which of the classifications fits with your current needs.

- Budget optimisation: We manage your budget to ensure you get the highest value from every dollar.

- Evolving care: As your needs change, we help you adjust your care services quickly so you’re always well-supported.

If you’d like to talk through your care plan, please get in touch with our local care team.

What happens if the unexpected happens tomorrow?

It can happen suddenly (stroke, accident) or slowly (dementia). Either way, you and your family are often left juggling care and urgent admin tasks without clear authority to act. When a plan isn't in place, families are often left under immense pressure.

Here are some things to help with planning for unexpected events:

- Nominate someone you trust (or get professional advice) for financial decision-making
- Keep key info in one place (contacts, services, accounts)
- Don’t wait for a crisis to start the conversation.

We can help with the care side - planning supports, coordinating services, and keeping communication clear - so you’re not doing everything alone.
