What if I already have a Home Care Package?
That’s okay! Just nominate Like Family, so we can work with your existing arrangement. We offer choice and flexibility in line with Consumer Directed Care.

What if I don't have a Home Care Package?

Who is eligible for the Commonwealth Home Support Programme?

Are there any subscription fees or prepayments?
No. You only pay for the time you spend with your support worker. We do not add additional fees, not even for credit card payments.
Does the price change based on the services provided?
We want to make our pricing as simple and affordable as possible. That's why we charge the same flat hourly rate regardless of what activity you'd like to do and who you work with. However, we do have different weekday and weekend pricing. View our pricing.
My elderly parents want to maintain their independence at home. Can you help?
Of course! We offer a range of services to help people like your parents to live independently. Just select "Friends & Family" when you sign up to Like Family.
What type of vetting do your support workers go through?
All our support workers go through a comprehensive vetting process, including all appropriate industry checks, proof of COVID-19 vaccination and at least 2 glowing references.
