What is private care and how is it different from Support at Home?

Private care is pay-as-you-go support you can access straight away, without waiting for government approval. There's no paperwork or delay - just flexible, reliable care when you need it.

Who can access Coastal's private care services?

Anyone. Private care is available whether you have a government package or not. Many clients use it while waiting for funding, or alongside their Support at Home funding when they want extra support.

Can I use private care as well as my Support at Home funding?

Yes. Many families combine both - use your Support at Home funding for regular ongoing services, and add private care for extra hours, last-minute help, or short-term respite.

How much does private care cost?

Private care is charged at an hourly rate, with no hidden fees or setup costs. Our team will provide a clear price guide before you begin.

How quickly can Coastal start private care?

In most cases, we can arrange support within a few days of your enquiry.

Is Coastal Home Care a registered home care provider?

Yes, Coastal Home Care is a Registered Home Care Provider under the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission.

My care manager Viktoriia Burns is a professional operator. Nothing is too hard for her, she is caring and understanding of my requirements. Always acts promptly and get the job done. I would have no hesitation in recommending her and Coastal for your aged care assistance.

My husband and I have both been clients of Coastal for almost 2 years during which time we cannot speak highly enough. Our Care Manager, Viktoriia, is "second to none". Whenever we have raised anything she has responded promptly. Interactions with other staff has been excellent. An example, when my husband was hospitalized with a fractured hip and our Care Manager was on leave, her supervisor phoned to see if there was anything Coastal could do to assist. We have no hesitation in recommending Coastal to others.

We have just moved from the Sunshine Coast and can't speak highly enough of Buderim Coastal Care, their Staff and Support workers. He has early dementia. To keep him physically and mentally active his Carers often took him to a movie, golf driving range, walks along the beach and/or visit a local Cafe for an iced choc or icecream.

Since joining Coastal Care 4 weeks ago I've experienced the most amazing service..... nothing is too much trouble and have been so well looked after by all concerned. Every single staff member have been so kind and caring. Thank God I changed to Coastal Care.

Sandra Sheavils

Kerryn and the team deliver gold standard care...with a smile! After a poor performance from a large provider we switched to Kerryn and i cant thank her enough for picking up the ball at short notice. And she kicked it out of the park! Kerryn is fabulous. Communication is excellent, the carers are wonderful and the management team have made my life as a full time carer so much easier. Give your elderly loved one the care they deserve and get Kerryn and her team. You will be so glad you did.
