Personal Care.
Supporting you to live well at home.
Personal care helps you stay independent, safe, and confident in your own home. Whether you need help getting ready in the morning, support with showering or dressing, or reminders to take your medication, our team is here to make daily life easier and more comfortable.
We tailor our support to your routines, cultural preferences, and level of care, so you can continue living the life you choose, with dignity and reassurance.
How Personal Care Helps.
Everyone’s needs are different. Some people require ongoing daily support, while others only need help for a short time while recovering from illness or injury.
Our experienced Home Care Workers support people with mobility challenges, chronic conditions, sensory impairments, or those who simply need a little extra help to stay safe at home.
We work alongside you and your loved ones to make sure your care feels right for you.
Our Goal is to help you:
- Maintain independence
- Feel confident and supported
- Stay safe in your home environment
- Continue your daily routines with dignity
- Reduce stress for carers and family members

Culturally Inclusive Personal Care.
At Cura Aged Care, we understand that personal care is closely tied to culture, identity, and comfort. Many of our participants come from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, and we honour the traditions and preferences that matter most to you.
We support you by:
- Respecting gender‑specific care preferences
- Honouring modesty, privacy, and cultural routines
- Using simple English, visual cues, or interpreter support when needed
- Understanding cultural expectations around food, hygiene, and daily rituals
- Ensuring your care plan reflects your values, beliefs, and family involvement
Your Care Partner communicates your cultural needs to your Home Care Worker team, ensuring your care feels familiar, respectful, and safe.
Accessing Personal Care Services.
You can access personal care through several funding options:
Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP).
Entry‑level support for older people who need one or two basic services to stay safe and independent at home.
Support at Home Program.
For people with more complex or ongoing care needs. This program provides access to services, assistive technology, and home modifications to help you remain living at home for longer.
Transition Care Program.
Short‑term support for older people recovering after a hospital stay.
