Using these services can help you avoid feeling isolated or lonely, and help keep you living your life and connecting with your community, friends, and family.

Or they can be more hands on with anti-coagulation and infusion therapy.

Care Management Options
Partnership
Our lower cost Partnership Care Management option enables you to self-manage some components of your Home Care Package. We work in partnership to determine what you'd like to self-manage and the type of support you'd like from us. You might wish to manage your own budget, make your own referrals for services or generally be in more control of the co-ordination of your package.
We have shared responsibility in ensuring you feel supported, yet able to maintain your independence. This is a truly individualised option.
Partnership Care Management is 15% of your fortnightly Home Care Package budget.
Fully Supported
Our Fully Supported Care Management option includes our comprehensive assistance in planning, coordinating and booking your home care services. Together, we make decisions on how funds are spent and monitor your budget.
Your home care specialists will be your first point of contact to discuss your preferred services, your budget, coordinate your services, complete service referrals and to discuss your changing care needs. You can choose the type of support and contact you want from us, whether that be home visits, phone check-ins or a combination of both.
Fully Supported Care Management is 20% of your fortnightly Home Care Package budget.
Package Management
If you have a Home Care Package, you are required to pay Package Management fees. This covers ongoing administration and organisational activities required to coordinate your package.
At Benetas, the fee is 15% of your fortnightly Home Care Package budget.
