Home Care Package update: thousands already assigned from the first release

The first wave of new Home Care Packages is landing. Government has started allocating the initial tranche and thousands are already in the hands of older Australians. With more releases scheduled across 2025 and into 2026, the people who move now will be the ones who start care sooner.

What this means for you

If you have an approval or you are close to one, now is the moment to line everything up. Allocation moves quickly once a release begins. Clients who already have a provider, a plan, and a care team ready can activate immediately and start using funding for real support at home. Waiting to choose a provider until after assignment can cost weeks of care you could have already scheduled.

Why packages are moving right now

Government has advanced a significant early release of new Home Care Packages to reduce wait times while aged care reforms progress. More packages will come online in stages rather than all at once. Being prepared before the next slice of packages drops is the simplest way to avoid missing out when your name is called.

How Trilogy Care gets you started faster

Turn funding into more care hours
Our self management model directs more of your budget to the help you value. Many clients stretch funding further by engaging trusted local workers at fair local rates.

Back yourself with real choice
You choose who comes, when they come, and what they do. We help you build a reliable team that fits your preferences and priorities.

Plan to use every dollar
We map out services across the quarter so you do not leave funds idle. Your plan stays flexible and we adjust bookings as your needs change.

Less admin, more support
We handle the setup, onboarding, and ongoing care management so you can focus on living well at home.

Your three step fast start

Step 1: Confirm your status today
If you have not been assessed, call My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or apply online. If you already hold an approval, you can proceed to provider selection immediately.

Step 2: Choose Trilogy Care as your care partner
We create a clear Care Snapshot that captures what you need in the next four weeks and the next quarter. Together we prioritise personal care, domestic support, transport, allied health, nursing, respite, and any equipment or technology that will keep you safe and independent.

Step 3: Book services for this week
We help you source and roster your preferred workers, set fair rates, and put services on the calendar. When your package is assigned, you will be ready to activate from day one and keep support flowing without gaps.

What to do if you are still waiting

Make sure My Aged Care has your current contact details and preferences.
Gather any recent clinical letters, hospital discharge summaries, or allied health reports so your support plan reflects your current needs.
Shortlist providers and compare how they help you maximise hours. Ask for an example weekly roster that shows the number of hours you can expect at your package level.

If your situation has changed, ask for a reassessment. Significant changes in mobility, cognition, or carer availability can affect priority.
