Epping sits in the City of Whittlesea, about 20 km from the CBD. Epping station is in the suburb, which helps if you or a carer travel by train. We ask about the practical things before the first visit: stairs, parking, a lift, a key safe, a dog, or a driveway that is hard to turn into.
Our team covers Epping as part of the Melbourne's north run. That means the same small group of carers, a phone number that reaches a person, and a rate confirmed before anything starts.

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.
