Make the Switch to Burnie Brae – Support That Truly Fits You.
Choosing the right Home Care Package provider can make a big difference to your daily life. Whether you’ve been with your current provider for 6 months or 6 years, you have the right to switch at anytime, for any reason.
You might be thinking about changing providers because:
Your current provider doesn’t understand your needs or goals
You're not getting the value or support you expected
You want more flexibility or better communication
You’ve heard great things about Burnie Brae!
Whatever the reason, you’re not alone and we’re here to help make it simple.
Not receiving a Home Care Package yet? We can help you understand the process and apply through My Aged Care.
What about my support worker?
You can still receive services from your preferred support worker, even if you change providers. With a brokerage arrangement, we’ll work with you to keep that familiar support in place. Or, if you're ready for something new, we can help you find someone who truly fits your needs and personality.
What happens to my unspent funds?
Your funds come with you! These funds transfer to Burnie Brae and can be used to support your care needs and Care Plan goals. We’ll help you make the most of them.
Will I be charged for leaving?
The great news is: Exit Fees are no longer allowed.
There might be some outstanding charges to check first, but with your consent, we can help you understand and manage these before you switch.
