Independent care management that works for you.
At Local Guardians, we started with a simple idea: that older Australians should have real choice and control over their government funded in home care. The new Support at Home Program is changing how aged care works – but you don’t have to give up the choice and flexibility that matter most.
That’s where we come in. We’re an independent Support at Home Care Manager, built on the foundations of self-managed care but evolving with the times.
Whether you prefer to coordinate your care mostly on your own (a typical self managed model) or need a bit of extra help along the way – we tailor our support to suit your needs. You choose how involved you want to be, and we make it work for you.
How We Work
We’re not a full service provider, and that’s by design. Full service providers employ their own care workers and deliver services directly, which locks you into their team and their pricing. We don’t employ our own workforce or deliver services ourselves.
This means we’re free to focus on what matters most: helping you get the right support, from the right people, at the best price.
You decide who delivers your care, and we help make it happen – with guidance, local knowledge, and a focus on maximising your care hours.

Real Reviews From People Just Like You
Local Guardians have been fantastic to deal with. Extremely helpful and insightful. Karen Denny has been a lifesaver helping me through the difficult task of understanding how Aged Care Hope Packages work and all the legal requirements
The assistance that Karen Denny has provided me has been excellent. I wish her well in her forthcoming retirement. Gary Bevern.
I've only tried one provider so there's nothing with which to compare Local Guardians. However, I have no complaints with my self managed package. Karen gets back to me promptly if I need some bureaucratic thing cleared up and the new changes in November were no problem. I'd recommend this provider.
Local Guardians Services have provided exceptional care and support for our family. Karen is compassionate professional and generally committed to ensuring that my father receives the highest standard of care. Communication has always been excellent and nothing is ever too much trouble. I highly recommend Karen and the Local Guardian service to anyone looking for trustworthy, high-quality age care support. Their dedication and kindness and professionalism truly sets them apart ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
