At Dovida Horsham, we believe no one should face the aged-care journey alone. ❤️

If someone you know is waiting for their Home Care Package or isn’t yet connected with My Aged Care — our team can help.

We can:
✔️ Link them with My Aged Care
✔️ Offer advice and reassurance while they wait
✔️ Provide private services so support begins right away

Sometimes, the best way to help a loved one is by pointing them in the right direction. Reach out today — we’re here to make sure every older person in our community feels safe, supported, and connected.

Hydration is key - especially as we age.

Did you know older adults are at higher risk of dehydration? Even mild dehydration can lead to confusion, dizziness, and an increased risk of falls.

To support your loved ones:
✔️ Offer small, frequent drinks throughout the day
✔️ Include hydrating foods like soups and fruit
✔️ Limit caffeine and alcohol
✔️ Encourage a water bottle or jug to track intake

A simple glass of water can make a big difference to wellbeing. ❤️

The Australian Government’s new Support at Home Program will begin on 1 November 2025, replacing the current Home Care Package (HCP) program.

This will be one of the biggest changes to aged care in years - designed to make the system simpler, fairer, and more flexible for older Australians.

💡 What’s Changing
• Home Care Packages → Support at Home (current clients will automatically transition)
• One inclusive hourly rate for services and care coordination
• National pricing, new rules for unspent funds, and caps on Care Management fees
• Dedicated funding tiers for Assistive Technology & Home Modifications

At Dovida Horsham, our priority is ensuring a smooth and positive transition for everyone receiving care. If you have any questions about how these changes may affect your services or budget, we recommend contacting your Care Manager for more information.

From 1 November 2025, aged care in Australia will change.

We are hosting a webinar to help aged care providers:
ℹ️ manage the transition
ℹ️ understand the next steps
ℹ️ ask questions and get practical guidance.

Aged care providers can get support, transition guidance and have their questions answered.

The new Aged Care Act is coming into effect soon and it’s an important update for everyone working in care.

The Act focuses on strengthening the rights of older Australians and setting clearer expectations around safety, respect, and quality of care.

For caregivers, it’s about continuing the high standards we already strive for — ensuring every client feels heard, valued, and supported in their choices.

We recommend visiting the Australian Government’s website to learn more about what’s changing and how it relates to your role, or watching their short video for a quick overview.
