Home Care Services in Hobart

Home care in Hobart has never been more important: older Australians are opting against aged care facilities and community care settings in favour of remaining in their own homes, meaning support services need to be accessible, dependable and affordable.

As the second oldest city in Australia, Hobart is home to nearly half of the Tasmanian population. Its idyllic backdrop alone—from the majestic kunanyi / Mount Wellington to the snaking River Derwent—makes Greater Hobart a popular destination, especially for people looking to unplug and enjoy nature.

Biking, hiking, surfing, kayaking and rock climbing are all popular activities in southern Tasmania, and landmarks such as Battery Point, The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), Salamanca Market, Cascades Female Factory and the 200-year-old Cascade Brewery attract Australians and travellers of all ages.

Considering the renowned sites and activities in Hobart and Tasmania, it’s no surprise that many older people choose to spend their retirement years there or in other popular cities such as Launceston. But in the middle of all that history and adventure, aged care services need to be a priority so elders can continue living at home with a high quality of life. That’s where The CareSide comes in.

Get Better Value For Your Home Care in Hobart

On average, The CareSide is 25% less expensive than other home care providers. That directly translates into more hours of home care for our clients. We offer self-managed and fully managed care options, and our fairly priced Support at Home services mean care recipients have more funding in their budget for actual care.

There are no entry or exit fees, no consultation fees, no add-on invoices, and no hidden fees or surprise care costs. Our monthly financial statements are clear and simple to understand, and you can stop or change your plan at any time.

So how do we do it?

We have developed proprietary software that automates administrative functions, effectively eliminating the need for large teams of back-office staff. Our operating costs are simply much lower than other home care providers, and we pass those savings on to our clients. Here are other important details:

We directly employ all of the home caregivers on our care team and provide them with ongoing training in both general and specialist care. We never use third-party caregivers or outside agencies.
We always send the same caregiver, which allows them to establish personal connections with care recipients.
We schedule services and visits at your convenience at a precise time, rather than a four-hour window, so you and your family members never have to wait for your caregiver to arrive.

Common Questions

Question not listed here?
Visit our FAQ Page

Does The CareSide have an office in Hobart?

The CareSide does not have a physical office in Hobart, but we do have a strong local presence.

As a national provider, we invest heavily in our training and recruitment teams, enabling us to maintain a full staff of highly qualified caregivers in Hobart with a range of skills and specialisations.

With The CareSide, you receive a dedicated Care Manager as your point of contact, along with regular check-ins to ensure everything is running smoothly. You also get the same caregiver each week, precisely at the times you choose, as well as access to care services around the clock every day of the year.

Some providers might emphasise office proximity as a selling point, but in reality, what matters is that your provider has enough staff in Hobart and the surrounding area to fulfill your needs without unexpected delays or shift cancellations.

In short, we offer personalised local support backed by the resources and reliability of a nationwide provider.

Still not sure? Read Helen’s story about choosing The CareSide over a provider with a nearby physical office.

Can my support worker(s) come with me?

Yes, we can hire your care workers. We pay above-award rates, so they may earn more working with The CareSide. They can also continue working with other providers and supporting other home care recipients who are not signed up with The CareSide.

As is the case with all care workers, they will need to provide their ABN, Public Liability Insurance, and a valid police check for us to hire them.

Is there a minimum service duration for care visits in Hobart?

Yes, each visit is a minimum of two hours. There are two important reasons for this:

Fairness to our caregivers: We do everything we can to care for the people who care for you, and their industry awards require them to have a minimum shift length of two hours. We aim to recruit and retain the best caregivers in aged care, and our ability to promise longer care windows helps us continually meet that goal.
Creating meaningful relationships: Effective home care isn’t just about checking off tasks, it’s about building rapport and connections while providing 360-degree support. Care can serve different purposes from one visit to the next. During the two-hour window, our caregivers can assist with anything you need, from house cleaning and personal care to transport, meal preparation, laundry, and more.
