Flemington sits in the City of Moonee Valley, about 5 km from the CBD. Newmarket 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 Flemington as part of the Melbourne's west 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
Flemington is about 5 km from the CBD, in the Moonee Valley local government area. Newmarket station is in the suburb, 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 Flemington 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.
