What we can help with in Burwood
Most people start with one thing, then add another when it is useful.
Getting to your place
Burwood is about 14 km from the CBD, in the Whitehorse local government area. Burwood station is the local stop, which helps if you or a carer travel by train. Check the current timetable before you rely on it. Travel is built into the booking, and we tell you what it involves before the first visit.
Parking, steps and access change from street to street. Some blocks in Burwood have a long driveway and an easy front door; others have a steep path, a narrow lane or a lift. We ask, write it down, and brief the carer before the first visit.
What we need from you
Your address, the supports you want, and the days that matter. A brief from a hospital, an NDIS plan or a family member helps, but it is not essential. A conversation is enough to start.
Paying for care in Burwood

- Private. You pay us directly, at the rate we agree before the first visit.
- NDIS. For self-managed and plan-managed participants, with invoices that match your plan.
