At BaptistCare, our tailor-made Home Care services can support you to stay living at home - on your terms.

Because we know itʼs not just about being surrounded by treasured memories or having things just the way you like them, itʼs about staying connected to your community and the people who love that youʼre a part of it.

We appreciate the trust you have placed in Sunrise Home Care and look forward to continuing to support you as part of BaptistCare Home Care in the Mid North Coast.

Understanding Home Care and how it’s changing

The Australian Government has changed in-home care to make it easier for you to access services and manage funding for your care.

The new Support at Home program (SaH) began on 1 November, 2025. It has replaced the Home Care Packages (HCP) Program and is part of the new Aged Care Act, which puts the right of older people first.

The Home Care services you receive remain the same - government-subsidised support to help you continue living independently in your own home.

Whether it’s a bit of extra help with getting the groceries home and packed away, nursing care to manage a health concern, or someone to mow the lawn, home care provides a wide array of services, all tailored to suit you.
