Focused Health Care supports individuals and families to access the right services through a range of funding pathways, including government-funded and private options.
Our services
Our nurse-led team works with you to understand your circumstances, explain your options clearly,
and help you access the most appropriate funding for care in Brisbane, Moreton Bay and Townsville.
Support at Home funding (aged care)
The Support at Home program has replaced Home Care Packages under the new Aged Care Act. This updated system is designed to provide more flexible, person-centred support while helping people remain independent at home for longer.
Under Support at Home, services are grouped into three categories:
Funding is allocated directly to the individual, allowing you to choose your provider and tailor services to your needs.
How Focused Health Care supports you under Support at Home
As a registered Support at Home provider, we can deliver and coordinate services across all categories, including:
- In-home nursing and clinical care
- Rehabilitation and allied health
- Personal care and independence support
- Domestic assistance and everyday living supports
- Restorative care and end-of-life pathways
- Assistive technology and home modifications.
A dedicated care partner from our team will work alongside you to plan, coordinate and adjust your services as your needs change.
Participant contributions
Under the new funding model:
- Clinical supports have a 0% participant contribution
- Independence and everyday living supports may involve a contribution, based on an income and assets assessment.
If you were already receiving aged care support before the transition, a “no worse off” principle applies, meaning your costs will not increase due to the change.
NDIS funding
Focused Health Care is a registered NDIS provider. If you’re an NDIS participant, we help you to use your NDIS funding in a way that aligns with your goals and preferences.
We provide services across NDIS funding categories, including:
- Core supports for daily living and community participation
- Capacity building supports such as support coordination and therapies
- Clinical nursing support for disability-related health needs
- Assistance with assistive technology and home modifications
Our team works in partnership with participants, plan managers and support coordinators to help make the most of available funding while maintaining continuity of care.
DVA funding
We support eligible Department of Veterans’ Affairs clients through approved DVA funding pathways.
This may include:
Community nursing
Clinical care and health management
Support following hospital discharge
Palliative and end-of-life care.
Our experience working with DVA-funded clients allows us to provide consistent, clinically guided care in your home environment.
Private funding
For individuals and families seeking immediate support, additional flexibility, or services not covered by government programs, private funding is available.
Private care can be used to:
Access services without waiting for assessments or approvals
Supplement existing Support at Home or NDIS funding
Arrange short-term or urgent care
Create a fully personalised care arrangement.
This pathway offers direct access to our nurse-led team and can be tailored to your schedule and preferences.
Compensable funding
(insurance and WorkCover)
Focused Health Care also supports clients with compensable funding, including:
We work closely with insurers, case managers and allied health providers to deliver coordinated care that supports recovery and ongoing wellbeing at home.
One provider, multiple funding pathways
Regardless of how your care is funded, Focused Health Care offers a consistent approach:
- One provider coordinating your services
- Nurse-led clinical oversight and compassionate care
- Flexible care planning as needs change
- Clear communication with you and your family.
Our services can be accessed through Support at Home, NDIS, DVA, private funding, or compensable arrangements, depending on your circumstances.
Let’s start the conversation
Choosing in-home care often comes with questions, especially as the aged care system adapts to the new Aged Care Act.
Whether you are exploring Support at Home funding, using NDIS or DVA supports, or considering private or compensable care, our team is here to help you understand your options so you can get the care you need to maintain your independence.
We take the time to listen, explain your pathways clearly, and support informed decisions at every stage.
