Self Managed Home Care Packages Sydney 

What is a Self-Managed Home Care Package — and Why It Matters

When you self-manage, you choose the carers you trust, set the schedule that suits you, and decide how your funding is used. It is your care, shaped quietly around your own pace, without handing over control to someone else’s system.

Care is deeply personal. It touches the small routines that bring comfort, the familiar patterns that shape each day. A Self-Managed Home Care Package gives you the space to keep those things close, even when support becomes part of life.

We know that real independence still needs steady ground to stand on. As an NDIS and home care package approved provider, we look after the responsibilities that can weigh heavy — like funding management, compliance, and paperwork — so that you don’t have to.

Self-management isn’t about doing more. It’s about keeping the freedom to live your way, with a trusted partner ready to help when needed, and the dignity of knowing that the choices stay in your hands.

Freedom to Choose the Right Carers for Your Life

Choosing your own carers is not just about picking services. It is about finding people who understand your way of living, respect your pace, and support your independence. When you self-manage with us, you are free to build your care the way it should be — around your life, not someone else’s system.

You decide what help you need. You choose the people who make you feel comfortable. You set the rhythm of your days, knowing you have support that fits, not forces.

Here are the ways you can shape your support — always with your own choices leading the way.

Home Care

Home should always feel like home — not a place where strangers decide how things are done. With us, you can choose home carers who respect your habits, your preferences, and the way you want things to be. Whether it's assistance with meals, safety around the house, or just having a trusted presence nearby, your choices stay at the heart of it.

Daily Living

Small routines matter. From getting dressed in the morning to managing medication and meals, you deserve support that moves at your pace. You can choose caregivers who understand that help should feel natural, not rushed — who know when to step forward and when to quietly wait.

Domestic Assistance

Keeping a home running smoothly can feel overwhelming without the right support. When you self-manage, you select the help you need — cleaning, laundry, cooking — done in a way that feels right for your space, not hurried through by a checklist. Your home stays yours, and the assistance simply blends into it.

24 Hour Care

Life doesn’t stop when the sun goes down, and neither does care. If you need support around the clock, you have the freedom to arrange it your way. Choose carers who are there when you need them, whether it's during the day, at night, or in the quiet hours in between — steady, calm, and ready.

Personal Care

Personal care is deeply private. Bathing, grooming, dressing — these tasks require more than just help; they require trust. Self-management lets you choose carers who understand the importance of dignity, patience, and respect during the most personal moments of your day.

Overnight Care

The night can bring its own set of worries — needing help to move safely, responding to health needs, or simply having someone close by. When you manage your care, you can choose overnight carers who provide peace of mind, staying quietly present while you rest.

Disability Care

Living with a disability means every day brings its own set of strengths and challenges. With self-managed care, you are free to find carers who understand your needs — whether it's mobility support, communication assistance, or simply someone who listens without rushing you through your day.

Disability Support

Disability support is not just about assistance. It is about building confidence, fostering independence, and helping you stay connected to the world around you. You choose support workers who believe in your goals and move beside you as you reach them.

Complex Care

Health needs can be complicated, but care does not have to feel clinical. If you need complex medical support, you have the right to choose carers who bring both skill and warmth — people who understand your condition and care about your comfort, not just your treatment.

High Care

High care demands attention, experience, and patience. Through self-management, you can arrange a team that provides the close monitoring you need without losing the human connection that makes every day feel worth living.

Social and Community Participation

Staying connected to your community, your interests, and your passions matters just as much as staying safe at home. You can choose carers who help you attend social events, join activities, or simply step back into the parts of life that bring you joy.

Behaviour Support

Challenging behaviours often come from needs that haven’t been met or understood. You have the freedom to find support workers who know how to listen first, react calmly, and build plans that reduce stress and bring more balance to daily life.

Dedicated Support for Every Health Condition and Need

Taking charge of your care doesn’t mean you have to handle everything alone. Through us, you can find carers who understand your health needs deeply — not just by training, but by experience, patience, and real human care.

Even when you self-manage, you have access to workers who bring the right skills for the conditions you live with every day. People who know how to listen, how to wait when needed, and how to walk at your pace without rushing ahead.

Here’s a closer look at the kinds of support you can choose — each shaped around understanding, not just service.

Arthritis Care

Pain and stiffness can slow down even the simplest parts of the day. We help you connect with carers who move gently, giving assistance without taking away independence. Help that respects how your body feels from one day to the next.

Autism Care

Autism is never one thing. Every individual has their own way of seeing the world. That’s why you have the freedom to choose carers who adapt — who understand when to offer structure, when to give space, and when to just listen without filling the silence.

Cancer Care

Cancer care is about more than medication and appointments. It’s about quiet support during difficult days, about having someone there who understands the emotional weight without trying to rush it away. We help you find carers who bring patience, not pressure.

Epilepsy Care

Epilepsy asks for both preparedness and calm. We make it possible to choose carers who are trained for seizure response but who also know how to support everyday living — so life doesn’t have to feel like it’s built around fear.

Heart Disease Care

Living with heart disease changes energy levels, appetite, even mood. Carers you choose through self-management can offer steady encouragement, help with medication, nutrition, and daily activity — always at a pace that respects your strength.

Huntington's Disease Care

Huntington’s is a journey that shifts over time. Finding carers who understand the slow changes — and who stay patient through every step — can make all the difference. We help you connect with support workers who offer consistency, dignity, and quiet support through it all.

Mental Health Support

Not every struggle is visible. Living with depression, anxiety, or other conditions asks for more than practical help. It asks for patience, for small encouragements, for presence on the days when words are few. You can choose carers who offer steady ground when everything else feels uncertain.

Motor Neurone Disease Care

MND brings gradual changes that affect movement, speech, and independence. We help you find carers who understand the importance of dignity at every stage — adjusting quietly as needs change, without making anyone feel left behind.

Muscular Dystrophy Support

Strength may shift, but dignity should not. Self-managing gives you the freedom to find carers who offer support with movement, mobility, and daily living in ways that encourage, not overwhelm — helping you stay active in the ways that matter most to you.

Out of Hospital Care

Coming home after a hospital stay should bring relief, not confusion. With self-management, you can choose carers who assist with wound care, rehabilitation routines, and daily living — rebuilding comfort step by step, not rushing ahead.

Parkinson’s Disease Care

Parkinson’s affects so many parts of daily life — walking, eating, speaking. Choosing the right support means finding carers who understand how to move at your pace, how to adjust without judgment, and how to stay patient on the hard days.

Palliative Care

Palliative care asks for quiet presence — not rushing, not fixing, just being there. We helps you find carers who know how to bring comfort, manage pain, and support families during some of life’s most delicate times.

Dementia Care

Memory may fade, but the need for kindness, respect, and familiarity never does. Choosing dementia carers through self-management means finding people who speak gently, move slowly, and create a safe space where dignity is never forgotten.

Support Network’s Platform: Making Self-Management Simple

When you decide to manage your own care, the real goal isn’t to add more work to your days. It’s to keep life feeling steady. Familiar. Yours. We built a platform to help you do exactly that — without noise, without stress, and without stepping over your choices.

On our platform, you can:

• Post jobs simply:You describe what you need, in your own words. No confusing forms. No ticking boxes that don’t fit your life. Just real needs, shared clearly, so the right people find you.
• Approve invoices without the rush:Invoices come through clearly. You can take your time, review the details when it suits you, and approve without feeling pressured. Everything stays organised and close at hand.
• Check and approve timesheets easily:Each hour of support is recorded for you. No guessing, no second-guessing. You see who worked, when, and how it fits with the care you asked for.
• Keep track of your budget, day by day:Your funding stays visible. You know where it’s going. You can adjust when you need to. You don’t have to wait for reports or ask someone else to explain it.

Nothing in the system is designed to move faster than you want to. You set the pace. You stay in charge. We don’t believe managing your care should feel like another job. It should feel like walking your own path, with someone steady behind you, holding the practical side quietly in place.

With our user-friendly platform, you stay close to the life you built — while making sure the support you choose keeps moving with you, not against you.

Benefits of Self-Managing Your Home Care Package

Taking control of your own care is not just a technical choice — it’s a way to keep life closer to what you know and love. With self-management, every decision comes back into your hands, where it belongs.

• Personal choice: You have the freedom to choose who supports you. You decide who fits into your life, your home, your routines. Care becomes something shaped around you, not something handed down.
• Budget control: You see clearly where your funding is going. No second-guessing. No waiting for explanations. You manage your spending with the confidence that every choice is truly yours.
• Lower fees, more care hours: When administration costs are reduced, more of your funding goes toward real care — more hours of help, more flexibility, more time spent living rather than worrying.
• Choose culturally matched carers: Care feels different when it’s built on understanding. You can select carers who speak your language, share your traditions, and know how to respect the ways that make you feel most at home.
• Transparency at every step: Every hour worked, every dollar spent, every record kept — open, simple, and ready whenever you want to see it.
• Backed by a trusted NDIS and aged care provider: Even when you take the lead, you’re not alone. Support Network stands behind you quietly, making sure the funding, the reporting, and the fine details are handled properly so you can stay focused on what matters.

Self-management isn’t about carrying everything yourself. It’s about keeping your choices strong, with steady support behind you — just enough to lift the weight, never enough to take the reins.
