Self-funded Care FAQs

No. Unlike NDIS or Support at Home, private care does not require an ACAT or NDIS assessment. You can begin services immediately after a consultation with our Care Lead.
We can usually mobilize a care team within 24 to 48 hours for standard services. For urgent complex care or post-hospital discharge, we prioritize your request for the fastest possible start.

Yes. You have total flexibility. Whether you need a 2-hour check-in once a week or 24/7 round-the-clock nursing, the schedule is entirely up to you and can be changed with 24 hours’ notice.

The coordination fee covers the professional management of your care. This includes 24/7 on-call support, clinical oversight by a Registered Nurse, staff vetting, and the guarantee of a replacement worker if your regular carer is unavailable.
Absolutely. This is a very common choice. We can provide immediate support while your NDIS or My Aged Care application is processing. Once your funding is approved, we help you transition the billing over seamlessly.
No. At CareLinc, we believe in transparency. There are no joining fees, no exit fees, and no hidden “brokerage” costs on top of the hourly rates we quote you.
In some cases, specialized nursing care or medical-related home supports may be tax-deductible or eligible for rebates through private health insurance. We recommend speaking with your accountant or health fund for specific advice.
You can pause your services at any time. We can also pivot your care to provide “Hospital-to-Home” transition support to ensure you settle back into your house safely after discharge.

Let’s get you the right support.
