Home care in Fitzroy.
Home care in Fitzroy for private clients and NDIS participants, with rates agreed first. It is about 2 km from the CBD, in the City of Yarra.
Care in Fitzroy, close to home
Fitzroy is the inner north at its densest, with Brunswick Street and Gertrude Street as its two spines. Terraces and apartment buildings line the streets, and many residents live within walking distance of everything they need.
The 2021 Census counted 10,431 people in Fitzroy, with a median age of 35. 11.1% of residents are 65 or over. Homes are mixed: 3.2% separate houses and 59.4% flats or apartments.
Fitzroy sits in the City of Yarra, about 2 km from the CBD. We plan the trip door to door, including where to park and the walk to your door. 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 Fitzroy 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.

Getting to your place
Fitzroy is about 2 km from the CBD, in the Yarra local government area. We plan the trip door to door, including where to park and the walk to your door. 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 Fitzroy 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 Fitzroy
Three ways people usually fund support here.
- 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.
- Support at Home. Ask us what applies to you. We will explain it plainly and tell you what we do not know.
