Why Families Trust Aged Care Decisions to Find Cancer Care at Home

Access to Australia’s Best Home Cancer Care Providers

We work with Australia’s largest network of home care providers experienced in supporting people living with cancer, helping families across metro, regional and rural Australia.

We Help Over 150,000 Families Each Year

Each year, more than 150,000 families use Aged Care Decisions to help compare home care providers and make confident choices at home.

100% Free & Independent Service

Our service is 100% free for families. Home care providers pay a standard placement fee, so our role is to help you find the right fit, not to push a particular provider.

The Benefits of Choosing a Provider Experienced in Diabetes Care

Cancer and its treatments can affect people in many different ways. Symptoms may change over time and can include fatigue, pain, reduced mobility, nausea and emotional distress. Care needs can vary significantly depending on the type of cancer, stage of treatment and overall health.

While general home care can assist with daily tasks, a provider experienced in cancer care understands the importance of flexibility, symptom awareness and emotional sensitivity.

The practical benefits of a matched provider include:

  • Fatigue and energy management: Carers who understand cancer-related fatigue and structure care around energy levels.
  • Pain and comfort awareness: Sensitivity to pain levels and comfort needs, with an understanding of when additional medical support may be required.
  • Medication and treatment support: Assistance with medication routines and side effect monitoring, particularly during or after chemotherapy or radiation.
  • Emotional and psychological support: Carers who provide calm, respectful support during what can be an emotionally challenging time for both individuals and families.

 

Aged Care Decisions connects you with providers who understand these nuances. By matching you with teams experienced in cancer care at home, we help ensure your loved one receives care that prioritises comfort, dignity and quality of life.

How We Support You in Finding the Right Home Care

We help you save time, minimise stress, and connect with reliable, readily available home care providers who are best equipped to help people either experiencing or recovering from cancer. Here’s how our free matching service works:

STEP 1

Get Personalised Advice Within 20 Minutes

Within 20 minutes of submitting your details, one of our Aged Care Specialists will call you. This is a supportive conversation to understand the cancer diagnosis, current treatment stage, side effects, and the type of support needed at home. We’ll talk through fatigue levels, mobility, pain management, personal care needs, medication support, and emotional well-being. This allows us to match you with home care providers experienced in cancer care and ongoing treatment support.

STEP 2

Receive a Shortlist of Providers With Real Availability

Once we confirm your needs, location, budget and preferences, we get to work straight away. Using our live database of home care providers, we create a Personalised Options Report tailored specifically to your situation. You’ll receive your report by email shortly after your call. It includes a focused list of providers with real availability, all of whom are experienced in cancer care.

STEP 3

Choose the Right Provider With Expert Support

Your Aged Care Specialist will walk you through your options, explain the differences between providers and help you narrow down your shortlist. Once you’ve chosen your favourites, we can contact providers on your behalf to arrange introductory calls or meetings. You stay in control of the decision; we simply make the process easier.

STEP 3

Start Care With Ongoing Support if Needs Change

When you’re ready to move forward, we’ll guide you through the next steps, including service agreements, start dates, and what to expect during your first few visits. And if care needs change or a provider doesn’t feel like the right fit, let us know. Your Aged Care Specialist can refresh your options and help you find a better match.

Common Cancer Home Care Services We Can Connect You With
