Funding Pathways
Understanding where to start
The appropriate starting point depends on a person’s age, needs, eligibility, assessment outcome and whether they are seeking funded or privately paid care.
Disability Support
NDIS pathway
For people under 65 with disability-related support needs, the NDIS may be the more appropriate pathway. WattleCare has included NDIS registration in its broader planning so future services can be aligned with the correct funding pathway where appropriate.
Private Care
Private care pathway
For families seeking private, nurse-led support at home now, Wattle & River Home Health remains the private care pathway.Privately funded care does not require a My Aged Care assessment.

WattleCare’s Future Focus
Care at home, aligned with the right pathway
WattleCare Services has been developed to support people who need safe, practical and well-coordinated care at home.
Our primary focus is aged care. WattleCare is preparing to operate under aged-care Categories 4 and 5, which relate to personal and care support in the home or community, and nursing and transition care.
Some people who need similar support at home may be under 65 and may not be eligible for Australian Government-funded aged care. In these circumstances, the National Disability Insurance Scheme may be the more appropriate funding pathway.
WattleCare has included NDIS registration in its broader planning so that, once approved and operationally ready, we can support eligible people through the pathway that best matches their age, needs, funding and circumstances.
Registration status will always be stated clearly
Until registration outcomes are confirmed, WattleCare will not represent itself as an approved aged-care or NDIS provider. The website will be updated as registration status, service scope and funding arrangements are confirmed.
Privately Funded Care
Looking for nurse-led support at home now?
Privately funded care does not require a My Aged Care assessment. Families seeking privately funded care at home may contact our sister brand, Wattle & River Home Health.
Wattle & River Home Health provides privately funded clinical care at home for families seeking flexible, nurse-led support, care coordination and clinical oversight.
