## Why choose private care?

Sometimes you need care faster than the government system can provide. Private care gives you immediate access without compromise.

### Start within 48 hours

No government waiting lists. We can begin care as soon as you need it.

### Flexible scheduling

Morning, evening, weekends, care on your terms, not a roster.

### No lock-in contracts

Adjust, pause, or stop services anytime. You’re always in control.

### Premium care quality

Same trained carers, same Montessori approach, just faster access.

### Dedicated care coordinator

One person manages your care. One number to call.

### Respite for families

Give family carers a break while knowing your loved one is safe.

## Private care might be right if...

- You're waiting for a government package and need care now
- You want more hours than your current package covers
- You need short-term care after a hospital stay
- You're a family carer who needs regular respite
- You want premium, flexible care without government involvement

## Transparent pricing

We believe in honest, upfront pricing. No hidden fees, no surprises. Here’s how it works:

### Hourly rates

You pay per hour of care delivered. Rates vary by service type and time of day. We’ll give you a clear quote before care starts.

### No minimum contracts

Use as much or as little as you need. Scale up during recovery, scale down when you’re feeling better.

### Weekly invoicing

Clear, itemised invoices every week so you always know exactly what you’re paying for.

### Can transition to government

If you receive a government package later, we seamlessly transition your care, no disruption.
