Aged Care & NDIS Dietetics

A Home Care Package is a government-funded program that provides services to help you stay at home and remain independent. The packages are designed to support your individual needs.

Able Aged Care works with your approved home care provider and care manager to offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to your needs. We create a personalized care plan in consultation with you, and our trained professionals deliver these services directly to your home.

We offer various services including physiotherapy & exercise physiology, occupational therapy, podiatry, dietetics & nutrition and nursing in the comfort of your own home.

To start services, contact us to schedule an initial consultation. We will assess your needs and develop a personalized care plan. Once approved, services will commence as per the agreed schedule.

While the government funds the majority of costs, you may have to contribute based on your income and the services required. We will provide a clear breakdown of any out-of-pocket expenses.

In the event that your regular caregiver is unavailable, we will arrange for another qualified staff member to provide your care, ensuring there is no disruption to your services.

Absolutely. We encourage the involvement of family and friends in the planning and decision-making process to ensure your care plan aligns with your preferences and needs.

Occupational Therapy practice involves working with a client to understand what occupations (activities) are important to the person, what difficulties, barriers or challenges they be experiencing in performing these activities, and what goals the person has in relation to their occupations

Appointments may vary depending on your individual goals and may include:

• Assessment and trialling of different equipment to meet your needs (for example wheelchairs, beds, lifters)

• Measurement and assessment for environmental modifications (for example ramps, rails, different taps)

• Implementation of a tailored therapeutic program for upper limb rehabilitation (for example post injury or after a stroke)

• Trial and implementation of adaptive equipment to assist in daily activities (for example adaptive kitchen aides like a kettle tipper or modified chopping board)

• Development and implementation of a skill building program (for example to build skills to become independent in areas of your life – meal preparation, time management, grocery shopping, community access)

It is helpful if you have any information or reports from your General Practitioner (GP) that may be appropriate and may assist us in understanding what your needs are. If you are an NDIS participant, a copy of your NDIS Plan Goals is also helpful to guide our assessment and identify what areas you may require our assistance.

We encourage you to be comfortable at your appointments - so clothing that you are comfortable in is best.

Our prices vary dependent upon services required and your geographic location. A copy of our price guide can be found by emailing our office. Our customer service team will provide you with your pricing based on your individual circumstances in your initial contact with them.

Consultation length varies dependent on your individual needs. Our initial consultations may take up to 2 hours, and follow up sessions may vary but most commonly are an hour in duration.
