Private Care
Get support when you need it, without the wait.
Government funding for aged care can take anywhere between 1 to 11 months to be approved. Assessments, approvals, and waiting for a package to become available can leave families needing support long before any funding comes through.
You don't have to wait to get help.
How Private Care Works
Dondra Care offers private, fee-for-service care for clients who haven't yet received government funding — or who simply want support sooner than the system can provide it. You pay for the care you need now, on your terms, with no approval process and no waiting list.
If you're later approved for a Support at Home package, we'll help you transition smoothly, so the care your family is already used to doesn't have to change.
Is Private Care Right For you?
Private care is a good option if you:
-
Are on a waiting list for a Home Care Package or Support at Home
-
Need support urgently — after a hospital stay, a fall, or a sudden change in health
-
Want more choice and flexibility than a funded package allows
-
Prefer to pay privately for some services while funding covers others
