If you or someone you trust implicitly is willing to manage your package, major savings can be made. You can also negotiate with package providers to gain a discount for your business. D.I.Y. is known as self-managed. By choosing a self-managed package, they can reduce the administration and case management fees substantially. This means their package buys more hours of care, which also means more respite from care for the main carer. A small investment for a great return!

When you choose Alpha Nursing to provide the care, paid for by your Government Subsidised in Home Care Package, we can review your Approved Provider ‘proposed budget’ and / or monthly statements with you to ensure the fees you are paying are reasonable. More often than not, we can increase the number of hours of care / respite the Government pays for – that’s the power of Consumer Directed Care. You get more for the same money. More care, more cleaning or more companionship.
