Discover a better way to manage your Home Care Package 


Welcome to Local Guardians – where choice, control, consistency and continuity of care all come together. We do one thing, Self Managed Home Care Packages. And we’re taking a different approach to home care, one that prioritises your needs, keeps fees low and service standards high.

How We Help


You get to choose the Self Managed option that best suits your needs:

Self Managed DIY

A DIY (do-it-yourself) option best suited if you would like to mostly self-manage your package. We maintain oversight and provide a basic level of support, while working alongside you to manage your package funds and payments.

Self Managed PLUS

Ideal if you want to self-manage but would like assistance with set up and some additional help along the way.

I engage Local Guardians for MLO self managed aged care package. I find their processes to be easy to follow and they have been very helpful in the aged care area, which can be difficult to negotiate.

Jaye and the Local Guardians team have been great to work with as our Aged Care Provider. They have been very helpful explaining and assisting us to navigate through the complexities and processes required of the package. They also manage the accounting and payments efficiently and this provides us the ability to self manage the care ourselves.

My mum was very nervous about starting a HCP but our Care Advisor Jaye has been so professional & welcoming, my mum is so relieved now she has the package supports in place. Mum finds Jaye very caring & easy to talk to. Any time we ask anything of Jaye she is responsive & assists asap. Thank you to Jaye and the LG team for such a stress free supportive experience ☺️
