Home care in Kew.
Home care in Kew for private clients and NDIS participants, with rates agreed first. It is about 7 km from the CBD, in the City of Boroondara.
Care in Kew, close to home
Kew is leafy and established, with Kew Junction, the High Street shops and the Yarra parklands at Studley Park. The trams along High Street and the buses do most of the work.
The 2021 Census counted 24,499 people in Kew, with a median age of 41. 19.4% of residents are 65 or over. Homes are mixed: 50.5% separate houses and 25.6% flats or apartments.
Kew sits in the City of Boroondara, about 7 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 Kew as part of the Melbourne's east 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
Kew is about 7 km from the CBD, in the Boroondara 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 Kew 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 Kew
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.
