Home care in St Helena.
Practical home care in St Helena, from a small Melbourne team you get to know. It is about 20 km from the CBD, in the City of Banyule.
Care in St Helena, close to home
St Helena is a hillside pocket above Greensborough, with 1970s and 1980s family homes, courts and bushland reserves. It is quiet and green, and the Greensborough shops and station are a short drive down the hill.
The 2021 Census counted 2,890 people in St Helena, with a median age of 46. 23.4% of residents are 65 or over. Separate houses make up 83.1% of homes.
St Helena sits in the City of Banyule, about 20 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 St Helena 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 St Helena
Pick one support or build a week from a few. The plan can change as life does.
Getting to your place
St Helena is about 20 km from the CBD, in the Banyule 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 St Helena 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 St Helena

- 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.
