The Let’s Get Care Story
About Us
We are Australia’s first and only government Approved Provider that exclusively offers self-managed care to Home Care Package holders.
Our mission is to give every Home Care Package holder full control of their care services and maximize the value of their government funding. We wanted to change the norm of exorbitant and unnecessary fees in the Home Care Package industry and that’s exactly what we have done.
We are driven by value, fairness and excellence.
With Let’s Get Care our clients take over the hiring and scheduling of their care service providers directly.
No longer locked into using a traditional Approved Provider’s staff, or high hourly rates, clients get access to the widest pool of support workers and care services in Australia, at the best rates around.
While clients enjoy their care services, Let’s Get Care covers all of the necessary ongoing compliance and financial reconciliation which is a mandatory requirement by My Aged Care for Home Care Package holders.
Let’s Get Care is founded by veterans of the aged care industry with expertise in Home Care Packages. We offer our clients service excellence and peace of mind.
