Domestic assistance and in-home support
Domestic assistance and in-home support
A little help around the home can make a big difference. Communify’s in-home support workers can provide subsidised domestic assistance 5 days a week Monday to Friday to eligible people who have moved through the MyAgedCare process and have obtained the referral code for these services.
We recognise that it can be difficult to manage household tasks alone as people age, and Communify’s domestic support services are here to help.
Who we help
Our in-home support services are available to people who:
- Are aged 65 years or over, or 55 years or over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
- Are located in the Brisbane North PHN catchment area
- Have obtained a Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) referral code through MyAgedCare
How we help
Our in-home support workers will work with you to determine what your priorities are and what you need assistance with.
We can provide a wide range of services to make living at home easier for you:
- Personal care – showers, hygiene assistance, medication assistance
- Domestic support – basic household cleaning
- Individual social support – taking clients shopping or appointments, and staying with them
- Transport to and from medical and hospital appointment
- Flexible respite in home (must have a carer)
Some tasks are either not safe for us to perform, or we are not funded to provide through our service. We ask that you respect that our service can’t meet all your household needs. Additionally, please note that we do not provide cottage respite or overnight respite care.
How to contact us
You can contact our team on 3366 7476 or email ihs@communify.org.au between 8am-4pm Monday-Friday with any enquiries about our in-home support services. Depending on service availability, there may be a waitlist for services.
Are you in need of a variety of domestic supports including nursing and allied health care? See if you are eligible to receive a Home Care Package.
