A new name, the same commitment to you. Southern Cross Support Services and Programmed Care are now Kanda.

Self-funded Home Care services

We understand how stressful it can be to navigate and wait for a Home Care Package (HCP), especially when you need timely support. That’s why we offer private care services to provide comfort and peace of mind while you wait.

If you’ve been approved for a HCP and are waiting for assignment, we can arrange services to bridge the gap, ensuring you and your family receive the support you need.

For those who aren’t eligible for government subsidies or want additional services beyond what has been allocated, private care is a great option.

Why choose Private Care?

Start care immediately while waiting for government funding.

  • Access the support you need when you want it.
  • Enjoy flexibility and additional services beyond government subsidies.

Sometimes, approval wait times for government funding can be lengthy due to the national package queue. With private care, you can start receiving support now, and we’ll reassess whether you still require private services once your package is allocated. Self-funding services are a practical solution for those waiting for funding, those who don’t qualify, or those wanting more comprehensive care.

More private services

Hospital funded

If you’re being discharged from hospital and require nursing services such as IV antibiotics, wound care, or drain management, discuss with your discharge planner whether you’re eligible for hospital-funded community nursing.

Health insurance

Your private health insurer may cover short-term nursing support at home. Contact your insurer to check your eligibility and let us know.

WorkCover

If you’ve sustained a workplace injury, such as a total knee replacement, we can provide in-home support (care workers, nurses, and/or allied health) approved under your active workers’ compensation claim.

Brokerage

If your current HCP provider doesn’t have clinical services or nursing staff available, we’re happy to collaborate with them to broker our highly qualified nursing staff for short-term or long-term nursing care.

Our positive impact

"The people from Kanda (previously Programmed Care) were unbelievably wonderful. They treated us with respect, as individuals who really mattered. We never felt rushed. They always had time to listen. I have total confidence in recommended the organisation and every individual we met."
