Your care, your way, with a Haisey team in your corner

If you'd like more say over who comes into your home and when, self-management might be the right way to run your Support at Home package. Haisey makes it simple: you pick the workers, agree the rates, and we handle the admin in the background. Same warm Haisey team. Same clear pricing. Just more of the day-to-day in your hands.

Who we are
What self-management means at Haisey

You decide. We handle the paperwork.

When you self-manage your Support at Home package with Haisey, you stay in charge of the choices that matter most:

  • Who provides your care — bring across a worker you already trust, or choose someone new
  • When they visit — set the schedule that fits your routine
  • What you pay — agree fair hourly rates with your workers, so more of your funding becomes real hours of support

We take care of the rest — quarterly budget management, invoice payments, compliance checks, clinical oversight, and keeping you across any changes from the Department of Health and Aged Care.

How it works

Four steps to get going

1

Free in-home consultation

We come to you, listen to what matters, and walk you through how self-management actually works at Haisey.

2

Build your care plan together

Your Care Manager helps you design a Care Plan and quarterly budget that fits your funding level and your goals.

3

We onboard the workers you choose

Once you engage us, we send your sourced workers the links to register in our independent worker portal. We collect their compliance documents — police check, insurance, qualifications, ABN, First Aid / CPR certificate and resume — have them sign our service agreement, and give the formal approval to begin. As your provider, that's our responsibility under Support at Home rules. It's a one-off process for each worker.

We handle the admin in the background

You pick the workers and set the schedule. We pay invoices, manage your budget, run compliance, and send you a clear monthly statement.

Is self-management the right fit?

A quick gut-check

Self-management tends to suit people who:
  • Already have a carer, cleaner or gardener they want to keep using
  • Like being hands-on with scheduling and decisions
  • Have a family member or friend happy to help with the admin
  • Want better value out of every dollar of their funding

If you'd prefer Haisey to take care of every detail for you — finding workers, scheduling visits, coordinating clinical care — our fully-managed Support at Home option is the more relaxed fit. Same Care Manager. Same clinical team. Same clear pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between self-managed and fully-managed at Haisey?

With self-managed, you choose the workers and set the schedule, while we manage the budget, payments and compliance behind the scenes. With fully-managed, we take care of every detail — finding workers, scheduling visits, coordinating clinical care.

Can a family member help me self-manage?

Yes. Your Care Manager is happy to include a family member or trusted friend in calls, planning, and budget reviews.

Does my chosen worker still need to be onboarded?

Yes. Under Support at Home rules, Haisey is responsible for making sure every worker delivering care under your funding is qualified, insured and approved. Even a carer you've used for years registers in our independent worker portal, supplies their compliance documents, and signs our service agreement before they can start. It's a one-off process, and we move it through as quickly as we can.

What does it cost out of pocket?

Your contribution depends on your Services Australia assessment. Full pensioners typically pay 0% for clinical services, 5% for independence services, and 17.5% for everyday living services. The 10% care management fee and 10% admin loading come from your quarterly Support at Home budget, not from your own funds.

Can I switch from self-managed to fully-managed (or back)?

Yes — both options are part of the same Haisey service. You can change your mind without changing providers.
