Private In-Home Care Services Sydney
At HomeWise Health, we understand that care is personal. Whether you're supporting an ageing parent, recovering from surgery, or seeking companionship for a loved one, our private in-home care services provide flexible, personalised support tailored to your needs.
Unlike government-funded programs, private home care gives you immediate access to the services you need, when you need them—without waitlists or lengthy approval processes.
Personalised Private Home Care, Your Way
Private home care is funded directly by you or your family, giving you complete choice and control over your care. You decide the services, schedule, and level of support that best suits your lifestyle and goals.
Whether you need a few hours of assistance each week or ongoing daily care, we'll work with you to create a tailored care plan that fits your preferences, routines, and health needs. Minimum weekly service hours apply to ensure consistent, high-quality support.
With HomeWise Health, you can access compassionate, professional care that helps you or your loved one live safely, comfortably, and independently at home.
Other Situations Suited to Private Home Care
Private home care isn't just for older adults. Our clients also include those:
- Recovering from surgery or illness
- Needing short-term support while waiting for a government package
- Living with a disability but not eligible for NDIS
- Caring for a loved one and in need of respite
- Seeking companionship and lifestyle support
Private Personal Care and Home Help for Seniors
For many older people, staying independent at home comes down to a little help with the everyday — and that help doesn’t have to wait on a government package. HomeWise Health arranges private personal care and home help for seniors across Greater Sydney, tailored to exactly what you or your parent needs, when you need it.
- Personal care — showering, dressing, grooming, continence support and mobility assistance, delivered with dignity by carers matched to the person.
- Home help and domestic support — light cleaning, laundry, meal preparation and shopping, so the home stays safe and comfortable.
- Companionship — a familiar face for conversation, outings and appointments, which is often what families value most.
- Overnight and 24/7 care — from a few hours a week to around-the-clock support, including live-in and overnight carers where more cover is needed.
Because this is privately arranged, there’s no waiting list and no eligibility assessment — care can start in days, and you choose the carer, the schedule and the level of support. Many families use private care to bridge the gap while a Support at Home package is being arranged, then keep a few private hours on top for extra peace of mind.

Whether you’re looking for care today or planning ahead, HomeWise Health is ready when you are.
Our carers assist with showering, dressing, grooming, toileting and continence support, medication reminders, mobility and transfers, and getting safely around the home. Every plan is built around the individual — some clients want an hour a day, others want a carer present morning and night. You choose what’s included and how often.
You can arrange private carers directly through HomeWise Health — there’s no need to go through a government assessment or a waiting list. We match your parent with carers based on their needs, personality and language, introduce them before care begins, and keep the same carers where possible so a genuine relationship can form. Call 1800 717 590 or book a free consultation to get started.
Yes. Private care scales from a couple of hours a week to overnight, live-in and full 24/7 support. It’s often used after a hospital discharge, during recovery, or when a family carer needs a break, and can be increased or reduced at any time.
Private care is charged at an hourly rate with no lock-in contracts, so you only pay for the hours you use. Costs depend on the type of support and the hours involved — the fastest way to get an accurate figure is a free 30-minute consultation, where we’ll map out a plan and give you a clear quote.
There’s no waiting list for private care. Because it doesn’t require a government eligibility assessment, support can usually begin within a few days of your first call, once we’ve matched a suitable carer and agreed the schedule.
