ECHO Community Services is a registered charity providing care to the elderly to help them live in their own home with dignity while still maintaining their independence.We provide in-home services 7 days per week for Home Care Package and 5 days per week for CHSP. Our staff are our most valuable resource .Wherever possible, we try to create small clusters or ‘families’ of clients and workers together. This means our staff know our clients and our clients know our staff. If one staff member is on leave, there’s another one who can step in, who is known to the client. This works for everyone and benefits everyone. No one is a number. We are just people helping other people in a way which is supportive and respectful. Our team is also culturally diverse with representation from many countries around the world. This gives us the added advantage of having staff who can speak a lot of different languages, and who can appreciate your needs.

Southern Cross has been supporting people in their communities throughout NSW, QLD, SA, VIC and ACT (including metropolitan, regional and remote locations) since 1984.

We organise quality services for people over the age of 65 (50 for Indigenous People) who need support with personal daily tasks and want to continue living in the comfort of their own home.

Southern Cross has locally based Regional Community Coordinators (Registered Nurses) who will work with you to establish an individualised care plan and to provide ongoing support supervision to ensure the quality of the service.

Local Support Workers provide a variety of domestic services to enable you to continue to live comfortably in your own home.

The Support Worker can assist with:

- Changing bed line
- Cleaning bathrooms
- Cleaning kitchen benches
- Dusting
- Laundry
- Vacuuming, mopping and sweeping inside and outside

Australian Unity’s home services are suitable for older people who would like some extra support to get the most out of life.

We offer support with everyday activities like personal support, cleaning and gardening, as well as health care services delivered by qualified professionals, such as nurses, physiotherapists and podiatrists.

Our friendly and dependable team will take the time to get to know you and tailor a support program to suit your individual needs. You’ll have a choice of team members to assist you and they will work with you as part of your expanded support team.

You’ll only pay for the services you use and agree to.

Australian Unity has been supporting the wellbeing of Australians for more than 180 years. As a mutual company, Australian Unity is owned by its members, rather than shareholders. This means we do not pay our profits to shareholders, but rather reinvest them back into further services that directly support our members and customers.
