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.

The access and ability to use a computer (or support from someone who can help you) will also be important.

Real Reviews From People Just Like You
Far superior to other aged care providers both in terms of financial transparency, service and integrity. The ability to choose to manage the relevant package is far more beneficial to those in receipt of necessary care. Sheila Ahmed in particular is consistently outstanding in her role there.
We’ve recently switched over to Local Guardians, and the setup was a breeze. Our case manager, Sheila, made the transition smooth and she’s always available to help with any questions. The payments are timely and the system is user friendly. We are happy with the services provided by Local Guardians.
Efficient, knowledgeable, caring. Good advice and very helpful.
We are very new to Local Guardians but have been very pleased with the set up process and support so far.
It is a pleasure working with local Guardians, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their innovative approach to aged care financial management has significantly reduced administrative burdens for both ourselves and our carers . The seamless integration into the admission process made it easy for my family to access services without the hassle of managing or dealing with complicated issues.
Local Guardians is a lower cost aged care provider, with systems generally easy to manage. Suppliers and support workers like the fact that it pays all invoices promptly each week. Sheila is a very responsive case manager, always doing her best to assist quickly with responses to any queries that arise, with a friendly and cheerful manner. The aged care programs seem to be changing by the department quite a lot in the past year, and LG does its best to keep clients abreast of the updates.
