Understanding aged care and Support at Home can feel overwhelming.

That’s why we’re proud to support the Freewave Foundation in offering a Free Community Information Service for older people, families and carers in the local community.

Drop in for friendly, practical information and support.

Sometimes, just having someone explain things in plain English can make all the difference.

No appointments needed — just drop by for a chat.

You know they’re ready to go home.

Clinically cleared. But discharge stalls.

Not because they still need a hospital bed - but because what’s needed at home isn’t ready yet.

Support. Transport. Equipment. Home modifications.

Someone to coordinate it all and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

That’s often the pressure point.

At Freewave Aged Care, we help make discharge happen.

We move quickly to put the right supports in place so older people can leave hospital safely and settle back into the place they want to be - home.

Whether that means immediate in-home support, assisted transport, short-term restorative care, assistive technology, home modifications or ongoing care, we work quickly to coordinate care and remove delays.

Because discharge is not just about getting someone home.

It’s about helping them stay home safely.

🔹️ Rapid response and mobilisation

🔹️ Door-to-door assisted transport

🔹️ Immediate in-home support

🔹️ Assistive technology and home modifications

🔹️ Restorative and ongoing support pathways

🔹️ Clinical oversight and coordination where needed

🔹️ Continuity of care, without the gaps

We answer the phone.

We respond.

We take ownership.

And we follow things through.

Because when someone is ready to go home, timing matters.

Back to their own home. Their own bed. Their own routine.

That matters.

We’re seeing this every day.

Co-contributions are pushing people to make choices they shouldn’t have to - between essentials and the care they need.

You don’t have to go without. Hardship provisions exist, and there’s no shame in using them.

If you need support, apply for a fee reduction or waiver - or reach out. We’ll help you get it sorted.

If fees from your Support at Home package are becoming difficult to manage, you can apply for financial hardship assistance through Services Australia which will determine your eligibility. Make sure you take the time to understand both the requirements and the eligibility criteria before applying.

There are options to support your situation which may include having your fees waived, reduced, or deferred for a period. You have the right to ask for support without judgment.

OPAN has created a fact sheet to help you understand the options available if you’re finding it difficult to pay aged care fees.

You can tell they’re ready to go home.

They’ve been cleared. They’re asking when they can leave. They just want to be back in their own bed.

But it’s not always that simple.

Because going home isn’t just about leaving hospital, it’s about what’s waiting for them when they get there.

Will someone be there to help?
Is the home safe?
How will they get there?

When that’s not in place, people wait…or they end up back in hospital.

That’s where we step in.

At Freewave Aged Care, we help make the transition from hospital to home feel simple, safe and supported.

We can organise:
• Door-to-door assisted transport
• Immediate support at home
• Assistive technology and home modifications
• Short-term restorative care to rebuild strength
• Ongoing services if needed

We move quickly, follow through, and take the pressure off you.

So your loved one can get home, back to what’s familiar, comfortable and theirs.

We’re Hiring!

Freewave Aged Care is looking for a part-time Physiotherapist and Occupational Therapist to join our team across South West Sydney, South East Sydney and Illawarra/Shoalhaven.

This is in-home aged care — Support at Home participants and private clients — working one-on-one with people in their own homes.

But here’s the part that matters.

We don’t hire often. And we don’t hire easily. We look for the 1%.

People who didn’t just fall into aged care, they chose it. Because this work is different.

It’s not clinic-based. It’s not transactional. It’s not “next patient”.

You’re walking into someone’s home. Their life. Their routine. Their independence.

And what you do, how you show up, genuinely matters.

We’re building something very deliberate at Freewave.

Consistent teams. No chaos rostering. Time to actually deliver care properly.

And a standard that doesn’t move. We keep our promises - to our clients and to each other.

If you’re a Physio or OT who:

– has chosen aged care, not defaulted into it
– values consistency, not volume
– wants to do work that actually feels like care, not tasks
– is comfortable working independently in the community
– and wants to be part of a team that holds a very high bar

Then we want to hear from you.

If you’re just looking for hours, we’re probably not the right fit.

But if you’re looking for the right place to do this work properly, we might be.

📩 Tell us why you're the right fit, what puts you in 1%, email your CV to [email protected]
