Care in Gowanbrae, close to home
Gowanbrae is a small, master-planned estate on the edge of Tullamarine, built around a park and a few quiet loops of housing. It is one of the smallest suburbs in the north, with a settled, owner-occupier feel.
The 2021 Census counted 2,971 people in Gowanbrae, with a median age of 40. 16.4% of residents are 65 or over. Separate houses make up 69.1% of homes.
Gowanbrae sits in the City of Merri-bek, about 14 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 Gowanbrae 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.
What we can help with in Gowanbrae
Most people start with one thing, then add another when it is useful.
Getting to your place
Gowanbrae is about 14 km from the CBD, in the Merri-bek 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 Gowanbrae 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 Gowanbrae
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.
