Website Design for Aged Care and Home Care in Melbourne

Websites for Melbourne home care, CHSP, HACC PYP and residential aged care providers. A daughter in Berwick arranging help for her father in Glen Waverley can see which council areas you reach, which programs you deliver and what each costs, and hospital, council and care finder staff get a referral page that tells them who to call and what you can start soon.

What a Melbourne home care website has to cover

Melbourne providers juggle more programs than most. Alongside Support at Home and the CHSP, Victoria funds its own home care for younger people, and many councils that once delivered home support are handing their clients on. A family usually knows only the suburb and the help a parent needs. The site has to translate.

  • Council areas, under their old names too

    The largest client numbers sit in different corners of the city. In 2024–25 Hume had 7,254 people using the Commonwealth Home Support Programme, more than any other Melbourne council, with Casey (7,128) and Kingston (6,803) next; on 30 June 2025 Monash had the most Home Care Package holders, 3,622, a figure only Greater Geelong beat in Victoria. Name the councils and suburbs you reach, such as Broadmeadows and Craigieburn in Hume or Narre Warren and Cranbourne in Casey. Where a council has been renamed, show both names: the government's home support and home care tables still say Moreland, its residential table says Merri-bek, and some hospital pages still use the old name.

  • A page for people moving from council services

    Monash Council announced in May 2026 that it will stop delivering in-home aged care by 30 June 2027. Its services include help in the home, personal care, meals, allied health, home maintenance and small home changes, respite and social support groups. The Australian Government will appoint new providers, and the council says clients won't need reassessment and will be able to choose the provider or providers that suit them. If you work in Glen Waverley, Mount Waverley, Oakleigh or Mulgrave, a page explaining how a move to you works answers what those families are asking.

  • A heading of its own for clients under 65

    The Home and Community Care Program for Younger People (HACC PYP) is Victorian Government-funded support for people up to 65, or up to 50 for Aboriginal people, who live with a chronic illness, disability, mental health or other condition and need help with daily living. Funded providers deliver community care, nursing, allied health, property maintenance, delivered meals, planned activity groups and social support. If you're one of them, give the program its own section; otherwise a woman of 52 recovering from a stroke, or the partner searching on her behalf, may never realise your service is open to her.

  • Referral details for hospital discharge staff

    Victoria's Post Acute Care program gives short-term community nursing, personal care and home care to people leaving a public hospital or its emergency department, and links them to longer-term supports where they need them. Each health service has its own area. The Royal Melbourne Hospital's covers Moreland, Moonee Valley and some suburbs of Hume, lasts up to 28 days and isn't open to people already holding a home care package. A referral page listing your council areas, what you can start within days and a direct number fits the point where that short-term help ends.

  • A separate price table for each program

    Support at Home prices must appear on your own site as well as on My Aged Care, and our main aged care page sets out how. HACC PYP fees work differently: funded organisations follow the state's fees policy and schedule, and inability to pay can't be used as a reason to refuse a service. Keep a clearly headed table for each program and for private clients, so a family never reads your private hourly rate as the HACC PYP fee.

  • A privacy line beside every form

    An enquiry about a parent usually mentions their health. Victoria's Health Records Act 2001 sets Health Privacy Principles that apply to organisations providing a health, disability or aged care service, and the state health department says there's no small business exemption. We keep forms to what you need for a first call, mark which fields are optional and link the privacy policy you supply right next to the send button.

  • Respite places, said plainly

    On 30 June 2025 homes on the Mornington Peninsula had 124 people in residential respite, more than any other Victorian council area, beside 2,093 permanent residents. If your home offers respite, explain how a family arranges a stay and who to ring about availability. A line near the top saying whether you have respite places this month can change as often as you like, because text changes on existing pages come with hosting.

Aged care in Melbourne: Victoria's own layers and the city's referral map

Provider registration with the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission, Support at Home pricing and published room prices are national; our Sydney aged care page walks through the registration categories. Worker screening is where Victoria's systems come in. Each aged care worker and responsible person needs either a police certificate no more than three years old that doesn't record certain offences, or an NDIS Worker Screening Check, which Victorians apply for through Service Victoria and the state's NDIS Worker Screening Unit assesses; a clearance lasts five years. If you deliver NDIS supports too, the Victorian Disability Worker Commission oversees that side of your workforce, as our Melbourne NDIS page explains.

Councils are a bigger part of the story here than in other states. HACC ran as a joint Commonwealth and Victorian program from 1984 until 2016, when services for people 65 and over moved to the CHSP and the state kept the younger group as HACC PYP. Many councils have since stepped back from delivery: in February 2024 a department official told Senate Estimates that 46 of the 80 councils to leave the CHSP, at least in part, since July 2021 were in Victoria. Councils that don't deliver services can still point people to them. Wyndham, which says it doesn't provide direct support services for older adults, runs a Community Connector program that gives residents and carers personal guidance to reach services, and Monash says it will keep supporting older residents through advocacy, partnerships, information services and community programs. Those staff are worth reaching with a clear page about what you offer in their area.

The figures and the referrers use different maps. The department counts aged care in four metropolitan planning regions: in 2024–25 Southern Metro had 45,884 CHSP users, against 35,494 in Northern, 33,881 in Eastern and 26,031 in Western Metro, and on 30 June 2025 Southern Metro's homes held 12,816 residents. Care finders, who give face-to-face help to older people needing intensive support to use My Aged Care, are commissioned by the three Melbourne PHNs: North Western, Eastern and South Eastern Melbourne. From 1 April 2026 South Eastern Melbourne PHN groups them in three clusters: Inner South (Bayside, Port Phillip, Glen Eira, Stonnington and Kingston) with Bayside City Council and Better Health Network; Outer South (Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia) with Better Place Australia, Each and Mentis Assist; and the Peninsula (Frankston and Mornington Peninsula) with Each and Housing for the Aged Action Group. Post Acute Care areas are set council by council in the state's directory, so a site organised by council area lines up with all three.

For a feedback and complaints page, Victoria has two contacts worth considering beside your own process and the Commission. Elder Rights Australia, which some Victorian Government pages still list as Elder Rights Advocacy, answers the Aged Care Advocacy Line on 1800 700 600 from 8am to 8pm on weekdays and 10am to 4pm on Saturdays. Seniors Rights Victoria (opens in a new tab) runs a helpline on 1300 368 821 and a community legal service for Victorians aged 60 and over, or Indigenous Victorians from 45, who are concerned about elder abuse. Complaints about the handling of health information go to the Health Complaints Commissioner.

We're an Adelaide team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St and work with Melbourne providers by phone and email. We haven't built for a Melbourne aged care provider. Our Melbourne client is Dr Tabara Dione Coaching, a coaching practice for doctors, and our aged care client, Golden Years Aged Care Support, works across Northern Adelaide.

An aged care site, and a Melbourne one

Golden Years Aged Care Support is our in-home aged care client in Northern Adelaide. Dr Tabara Dione Coaching is a Melbourne practice whose booking link sits on every page, which is how a request for a first home visit or a respite enquiry can work too.

Home page of the Dr Tabara Dione Coaching website

Dr Tabara Dione Coaching

Professional services · Melbourne

Confidential coaching for doctors, led by a Melbourne specialist anaesthetist: a services overview, an about page setting out her credentials, a contact form and discovery-call booking linked from every page. A provider already using a scheduling tool for assessment visits can follow the same pattern, or we can build booking into the site and quote it with the rest.

“They were very helpful and envisioned exactly what I was wanting for my website. They created the site very promptly and cost efficient.”

Questions Melbourne aged care providers ask us

Our local council is ending its home support. Can our site say we're taking on its clients?

If you are, yes, in plain terms. Monash, for example, says its services carry on as usual until 30 June 2027, that the Australian Government will appoint new providers, and that clients will be able to choose who supports them. A page for those clients should list what you deliver in that council area and how a move to you works, and shouldn't suggest the council or the government has appointed you unless it has. Councils can revisit these decisions, so check the council's latest update before the page goes live.

We deliver HACC PYP as well as aged care. Does it belong on the same site?

Yes, under its own heading. HACC PYP is for people up to 65 (up to 50 for Aboriginal people) who aren't getting similar support through another program, and NDIS participants generally aren't eligible. Providers receive fixed funding each year, so eligibility doesn't mean an immediate service; describe how you take referrals rather than promising a start date. The Victorian Department of Health's HACC PYP page (opens in a new tab) is the place to check the current guidelines.

Our enquiry form asks about a parent's health. Does Victorian privacy law affect the website?

It affects what you collect and how you handle it, so it's worth checking before launch. The Health Records Act 2001 applies to health information handled in Victoria by private organisations of any size, and complaints about breaches go to the Health Complaints Commissioner. We build the form around the questions you choose and place your privacy policy where people will see it. What the policy says is for you and your advisers; the department's Health Records Act page (opens in a new tab) explains who the Act covers.

Families think in suburbs and referrers think in regions. How do we cover both?

In layers. Lead with the council areas you serve, list the suburbs under each (Rosebud, Mornington and Hastings for the Mornington Peninsula, say), and add one line for referrers naming your PHN or care finder cluster. On the forms, ask for the suburb as its own field. A care finder in Dandenong or a council connector in Werribee can then tell at a glance whether you're an option, and you spend less time on calls from areas you can't reach.

You're an Adelaide team. How do Melbourne providers work with you?

Over the phone and by email. You send your programs, prices, council areas and the wording you want, we arrange it into a draft your coordinators can check on a phone or laptop, and you ask for as many changes as you need before paying anything. Most sites are live within 5–10 days of us getting your words and photos; bigger sites (up to 8 pages) take 2–3 weeks. We reply within 24 hours.

Starting a website for your Melbourne care service?

Tell us the programs you deliver, the council areas and suburbs you cover, your current prices and the contacts you want on your complaints page. We'll quote and build the draft, and you pay only once you approve it.
