Making the Most of Level 2 Home Care Packages in Ryde
For older Australians wanting to remain independent at home, Level 2 Home Care Packages offer valuable support. Designed for those with low to moderate care needs, these packages help seniors manage daily tasks while maintaining their health, mobility, and social connections. At EnableU, we support residents across Ryde, Canada Bay, and Hunter’s Hill to access and get the most from their funding with personalised, flexible care plans.
What Is a Level 2 Home Care Package?
Level 2 is the second tier of the Australian Government’s Home Care Package (HCP) program. It’s ideal for seniors who live at home but need some help with personal care, mobility, or managing health conditions. The government allocates a set annual subsidy to help cover approved aged care services.
As of 2025, the subsidy for a Level 2 package is approximately $15,750 per year. This funding is paid to an approved provider like EnableU, who then works with you to plan and deliver services tailored to your needs.
Who Is Eligible for a Level 2 Package?
You may be eligible for Level 2 if:
- You’re aged 65 or older (or 50+ for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people)
- You are living at home and need some support to manage day-to-day activities
- You’ve completed a My Aged Care assessment and have been approved for a Level 2 package
If you haven’t yet been assessed, EnableU can guide you through the My Aged Care application process.
What Services Can You Access?
With a Level 2 package, you can receive a wide range of support services — tailored specifically for you. At EnableU, we help you choose the right mix of care from the following options:
- Personal care – showering, grooming, dressing
- Help with meals – preparation, planning, or nutrition support
- Domestic assistance – light cleaning, laundry, changing bed linen
- Transport – to appointments, shops, or community activities
- Social support – companionship, support worker visits
- Allied health – in-home physiotherapy or occupational therapy
- Home safety improvements – grab rails, mobility aids
Your package is flexible — it evolves with your changing needs and preferences.
How EnableU Maximises Your Package Value
Not all providers manage HCPs the same way. At EnableU, we focus on:
- Low admin and case management fees – more of your funding goes towards your actual care
- No lock-in contracts – full control over your services and budget
- Regular plan reviews – so your package adapts to your changing goals
- Multilingual team – care workers who speak your language and understand your culture
We ensure you understand where your funding goes — and how to make the most of it each month.
Sample Weekly Plan for a Level 2 Client
Here’s what a sample care plan might look like for a Level 2 client in Ryde:
- Monday: Personal care (1 hour), transport to hydrotherapy
- Wednesday: Grocery shopping support and domestic assistance
- Friday: Social visit from a support worker (conversation, walk in the park)
- Ongoing: Monthly in-home physiotherapy session
This routine can be adjusted at any time to suit changing health or lifestyle needs.
Can I Combine My Package With Other Supports?
Yes. Many EnableU clients use Home Care Packages alongside community services, family support, or even private care hours. If you need more than your Level 2 package can provide, we’ll help you explore:
- Top-up services paid privately
- Transitioning to Level 3 or 4 packages as needs increase
- Applying for short-term restorative care or CHSP supports
