Home care in Southbank.
Home care in Southbank for private clients and NDIS participants, with rates agreed first. It is about 1.3 km from the CBD, in the City of Melbourne.
Care in Southbank, close to home
Southbank runs along the Yarra opposite the city, with the arts centre, the casino and the promenade in between. Most homes are apartments, often with lifts and secure entries, and the city is a short walk across the bridge.
The 2021 Census counted 22,631 people in Southbank, with a median age of 31. 5.7% of residents are 65 or over. Flats and apartments make up 98.3% of homes.
Southbank sits in the City of Melbourne, about 1.3 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 Southbank as part of the Melbourne's south run. That means the same small group of carers, a phone number that reaches a person, and a rate confirmed before anything starts.

Mix personal care with the practical jobs, or start with the housework and see how it goes.
Getting to your place
Southbank is about 1.3 km from the CBD, in the Melbourne 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 Southbank 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 Southbank
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.
