Home Care Services in Mackay

In Home Care Services in Mackay

Home should feel like a place where you’re understood. At Support Network, that’s exactly where we begin—with a quiet understanding of who you are, what matters to you, and what kind of support would bring comfort to your daily life.

We don’t offer care that’s copied from someone else’s plan. Every person we meet has a different story, and we shape our support to match. Some need a hand with morning routines. Others want help getting to appointments or keeping their home just how they like it. Whatever it is, we take the time to learn your preferences, your habits, and your pace.

Our Home Care Services

Not everyone needs the same kind of care — and no two lives look alike behind closed doors. We understand this, deeply. That’s why our home care services in Mackay aren’t a standard package. We don’t work from fixed routines or preset lists. We start with you — how your days unfold, what’s been working, what hasn’t, and where you’d like a hand.

We begin by listening. Then we match you with a carer who’s not only trained but chosen with care — someone with the right energy, approach, and attitude. And if it doesn’t feel quite right, we’ll keep working with you until it does. That’s the difference. We don’t just provide services — we build steady, thoughtful relationships that grow with you.

Here’s how our support looks, in real life — not just on paper.

Home Care

Home means more than walls and furniture. It’s the feeling of being in your own space, with your own things, in your own rhythm. Our role in home care is to protect that — not to take over, not to change it, but to support you in keeping life running in a way that still feels like yours.

Whether you need help with meals, light housework, or staying organised, we move gently around your routine. Some days we talk, some days we just quietly work. Either way, we respect your pace and your space. That’s what makes care feel comfortable.

Daily Living

Getting through the day isn’t always simple. Tasks that used to feel automatic — like getting dressed or preparing a meal — can start to feel tiring or tricky. That’s where we step in.

We help you move through your day smoothly — not by speeding it up, but by removing the friction. From morning till evening, we support with daily habits, keeping your dignity intact and your choices in place. The aim is to keep your days steady, not overwhelming — just as they should be.

Domestic Assistance

It’s often the little things — the laundry, the dishes, the vacuuming — that start to slip when energy runs low. Our domestic assistance is simple, respectful, and designed to ease that quiet pressure. We don’t just clean — we pay attention to how you like things. We keep routines familiar, fold things your way, and work quietly, so your home still feels like home, just a little lighter.

24 Hour Care

Some lives need constant care. That doesn’t mean constant stress. Our 24-hour service is structured in a way that keeps the care flowing calmly — across shifts, through the night, and back into the morning.

We’re there when you need us — whether it’s physical support, reminders, supervision, or just having someone close. We make sure there’s no confusion, no handovers that feel clumsy. Just seamless, gentle help, round the clock.

Personal Care

Helping with personal care — bathing, dressing, using the toilet — requires more than skill. It calls for softness. We understand that these moments can feel vulnerable, and that trust is everything.

So we never rush. We learn how you like things done. We pause when needed. We check in, not just to complete the task, but to make sure you feel okay with every step. Because personal care isn’t about the routine. It’s about how it’s done.

Overnight Care

Evenings bring their own set of worries. For some, it’s physical needs. For others, it’s the quiet worry of being alone. Our overnight carers are there to ease both. Whether it’s helping with movement, medications, or simply being present, we offer calm support while the rest of the world sleeps.

You won’t hear footsteps or whispers. Just the quiet reassurance that someone is nearby — not to interfere, but to be ready, just in case.

Disability Care

Living with a disability often means juggling more than most people see. Our job is to lighten that load, not by taking over, but by supporting what already works and improving what doesn’t.

We don’t assume what you need — we ask. We get to know your routines, your goals, your barriers. Then we show up with the right kind of help, and the right kind of patience. The goal? To build a day that feels like yours, with a bit less weight on your shoulders.

Disability Support

Sometimes, care is about being there — not fixing, not fussing, but supporting. We assist with structure, companionship, emotional steadiness, and physical needs. It might be help preparing lunch. It might be help preparing for a job interview. It might just be having someone steady at your side. Our support is flexible, responsive, and focused on you.

Complex Care 

When care involves medical routines or higher risks, it can feel intimidating. That’s why our complex care team brings both professional training and calm presence. We follow plans carefully. We stay in touch with health providers. And we always protect the dignity of the person we’re supporting.

We don’t let complexity take over the atmosphere. We bring it down to a human level — step by step, person to person.

High Care

Full-time support means being present for nearly every moment — from dressing to moving, from eating to resting. It means knowing how to step in quickly, and how to step back when needed. Our high care team doesn’t just manage tasks. They build comfort. They build trust.

We work closely with families, listen closely to the individual, and adapt as things change. That’s what high care should feel like — present, capable, and always respectful.

Social and Community Participation

Getting out of the house should never feel out of reach. Whether it’s attending a local event, grabbing groceries, visiting friends, or just enjoying the sunshine, we help make it happen.

We don’t rush. We don’t force. We make space for real moments — for someone to feel like part of something again, even if it’s just a stroll down the street with a bit of conversation.

Behaviour Support

Some people show how they feel through behaviour, especially when words aren’t enough. We don’t judge. We don’t react. We stay steady and patient, working with families and specialists to figure out what helps.

We follow routines, simplify choices, and offer calm responses when things feel out of balance. We know that with the right support, even the hardest days can feel more manageable — and more human.

 

Specialist Care Services

Every condition brings its own set of challenges. But behind every diagnosis, there’s a person — and often a family doing their best to hold everything together. We understand that no two journeys are the same. That’s why we don’t deliver care based on labels. We get to know the person first. Then we build support around them, gently and thoughtfully.

Whether it's a short-term need or something ongoing, we approach each situation with care that fits real life. The kind that gives space to breathe, and support that doesn't feel heavy.

Here are the conditions we support, and how we care for people living with them.

Arthritis Care

Stiff joints. Hard mornings. A general slowing down of once-simple routines. We understand how arthritis can make daily tasks more tiring. Our carers provide gentle support where it’s needed — whether that’s helping with buttons, cooking meals, or simply walking safely from room to room. We stay patient, never rush. And we help families understand how to ease the load at home without losing connection or independence.

Autism Care

Autism care means recognising how the world feels to each person. For some, it’s sound or light sensitivity. For others, it’s anxiety around change or difficulty communicating. We listen first. Then we shape our support around routines, comforts, and cues that matter. Our carers learn how to interact in a way that builds trust over time. We also support families with structure, calm strategies, and reassurance when things feel uncertain.

Cancer Care

Cancer doesn’t just affect the body. It shifts everything — moods, routines, even relationships. We come in quietly, to help with meals, medication reminders, personal care, or just being there on the hard days. Our role is to help people feel less overwhelmed, and give families a moment to rest or focus on what matters. We offer steady support, without fuss.

Epilepsy Care

Living with epilepsy means learning to expect the unexpected. We work closely with individuals and families to make things safer and more manageable. Our carers are trained to respond to seizures calmly, but also to help create daily routines that reduce anxiety. We support with medications, supervision, and gentle encouragement for independence — always paying attention to warning signs and changes.

Heart Disease Care

Heart conditions can change how a person moves, eats, and rests. Our carers are there to monitor symptoms, offer help with mobility, and prepare heart-friendly meals if needed. But we also help with small things, like pacing the day or managing medications on time. Most of all, we help the family worry less, knowing someone is nearby who understands what to watch for.

Huntington’s Disease Care

This condition affects movement, speech, and often mood. Families sometimes feel unsure how to respond. We offer steady, consistent care that keeps daily life as calm as possible. Our team supports with mobility, eating, and communication, but also with emotional reassurance. We stay flexible, because the symptoms often shift. And we make sure family carers feel supported too, not just the person receiving care.

Mental Health

When someone is struggling mentally, small things can feel large. We support people living with depression, anxiety, bipolar, and other conditions by staying present and steady. That might mean helping them get out of bed, keep appointments, or simply talk things through over a quiet cup of tea. Our focus is to help them feel seen without being judged, and to gently build structure that makes each day easier to face.

Motor Neurone Disease Care

With MND, support often becomes more involved as time passes. We stay ahead of those changes, providing practical care while holding onto dignity and communication. Whether it’s helping with feeding, breathing equipment, or movement, our team steps in gently. We also make sure families feel prepared and not alone as the condition progresses.

Muscular Dystrophy

This condition may affect strength gradually, but it touches everyday life in deep ways. Our carers provide help with mobility, equipment use, and routines that preserve independence as long as possible. At the same time, we’re there for emotional support, and to help family members adapt with less stress.

Out of Hospital Care

Coming home from hospital can be both a relief and a challenge. We support people during this transition, helping with wound care, movement, nutrition, and medications. But more than that, we help rebuild confidence. Things don’t have to go back to how they were right away. We help take it one day at a time.

Parkinson’s Care

Parkinson’s changes how a person moves and communicates. Some days are smooth, others are frustrating. We offer support with daily activities, tremor management, and routines that bring ease. Our carers understand how important patience is — both for the person and those around them. We don’t push. We work in step with what the person can manage, always allowing for change.

Palliative Care

This stage of life is often hard to talk about, but deeply important. Our approach to palliative care is quiet, steady, and respectful. We support the person with comfort-based care while also making space for family to rest, process, and spend time together in peace. There’s no rush, no pressure — just presence and support, at whatever pace is needed.

Dementia Care

With memory loss, familiarity becomes precious. We create a space where the person can still feel safe and known. Whether it’s assisting with hygiene, calming agitation, or gently guiding them through the day, we build routines that reduce confusion. Our carers understand the value of patience, and how even small moments of connection can bring comfort.

Choosing the Right Home Care Provider to Meet Your Needs

When someone starts looking for care, they’re often already feeling tired — maybe overwhelmed. So choosing the right provider should never make things harder.

Here are a few things we always encourage families to think about before they decide:

Do they take time to listen? You want a team that asks real questions. About your routine. About what matters to you. Not just what service “box” you fit into.

Are the carers experienced — but also kind? Training matters. But so does the way someone walks into your home, speaks to you, and supports you with respect.

Is the care flexible? Needs can change. A good provider doesn’t make you feel like you’re asking too much when something shifts.

How clear is communication? You should never feel like you’re guessing what’s happening. You should be included, informed, and treated like a partner in the process.

A good provider doesn’t just show up. They stay involved. They check in. They build trust — over time.

That’s what we do here.

 

How Our Home Caregivers Are the Best in Town

A good carer doesn’t walk into someone’s home thinking they know better. They walk in willing to learn — about the person, their habits, and how they want to be supported.

That’s how our team works.

We don’t send out workers with generic instructions. We pair people carefully. We take time to understand what someone needs before we even step through the door. It’s not just about skill. It’s about approach.

All of our carers go through background checks, proper training, and ongoing support. But more than that, they’re chosen because of who they are. Calm. Present. Steady. People who know when to speak and when to simply be there.

We don’t follow agency-first care. We follow participant-first care. That means our carers are guided by the person they support — not by a clock, or a checklist.

We’re proud to say that families often tell us their carer has become a part of the home — not because they take over, but because they blend in so well. That’s what it should feel like. Not clinical. Just comfortable.

Culturally Aligned Support Workers

We also know that care feels easier when there’s shared language, understanding, and trust. For many people, being supported by someone who understands their culture can make all the difference.

That’s why we offer carers from a wide range of backgrounds, including:

When we match someone based on culture, it’s not about preference — it’s about comfort. It’s about feeling understood without having to explain yourself again and again.

That’s what good care should feel like. Familiar. Safe. Personal.

 

Home Care Funding Options

When the need for home care arises, the first concern for many families isn’t always what support is available — it’s how they’ll afford it. And that’s completely understandable. For most people, navigating the funding side of care can feel like stepping into unfamiliar territory. There are forms, programs, waiting lists, and a lot of fine print.

We don’t expect you to figure it all out on your own. We talk you through the options — clearly, gently — and help you understand what might be available based on your situation.

There are two main paths to funding home care: government-funded support and privately paid care. Both are valid, and both can be tailored to meet your needs. Some families rely entirely on approved government packages. Others might start with private care while waiting for formal funding to come through. And for some, it’s a mix of both.

We work with all funding types, and we adjust our services so that the support remains steady — no matter how the care is paid for.

NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme)

If you or your family member is living with a disability and has an approved NDIS plan, we can help deliver support under that plan. This might include daily living assistance, in-home care, transport, personal care, and more. Our team will take the time to read your goals, understand the outcomes you’re working towards, and provide services that genuinely support those goals — not just fill the hours.

We know NDIS plans can feel confusing at first. We help you make sense of what you’re funded for and how to get the most from it, with no pressure or over-complication.

Home Care Packages

For older Australians, Home Care Packages offer government funding based on individual needs. These packages range from basic support through to high-level care, and they can make a huge difference in allowing someone to remain at home instead of entering residential care.

If you’re already approved for a package — or just starting the process — we can help you move forward. Our role is to provide the care you choose, at the level you need, in a way that respects your pace and comfort. We’ll help you get started, and we’ll stay involved as the care evolves.

Private Care

There are times when government funding isn’t available yet, or the need for care is urgent. In these situations, privately funded home care can be the most immediate option. It’s flexible, it can begin quickly, and you remain in control of what you receive.

We offer private care that fits within your budget and focuses on the areas that matter most to you — whether it’s temporary support after a hospital stay, help during recovery, or steady assistance each week. There’s no long application process, and we can start shaping your care plan from the first conversation.

 

Contact Us

We know care decisions are not easy. Most people don’t plan for them — they find themselves in the middle of it, unsure where to turn. If that’s where you are, we’re here to help, without rushing you.

Support means different things for different people. Some are looking into Personal Home Care, just enough help to stay steady at home. Others are thinking about moving into senior living communities or want to know more about local care communities. And for many, it’s not clear yet — just questions about where to begin.

We provide a wide and steady kind of support. Our team includes people trained in Nursing Care, and others who assist with basic care, meal preparation, and the in-between parts of the day. Some of the people we help need intermediate care. Others need more specialized care or medical care. It’s not one path — it’s many.

We’re a care agency, but more than that, we’re people who listen. We’ve helped families with everything from shaping a health care plan to understanding aged care services, especially when it comes to choosing between home support and an aged care facility. Some reach out to us for full care. Some only need guidance.

If you’re considering different care options, if you’re comparing senior living options, or if you’re just trying to find something that feels right for your family, give us a ring. Our experienced team and health care professionals are here — steady, local, and easy to talk to.

You can reach us on 1300 671 931. We’ll walk through it with you, one step at a time, in a way that helps protect the quality of life you want to keep.
