Choose from two pricing options – Self Managed DIY or Self Managed PLUS. As the names suggest you’ll be in the driver’s seat regardless of which option you choose. The only difference is how much help you’d like from us along the way.

A DIY (do-it-yourself) option for those who would like to entirely self-manage their package. We provide you with a basic level of support and work alongside you to manage your package funds and payments.

(*) All DIY clients commence as provisional DIY which means initially the monthly fee is 20% of package value. After 3 months, and having successfully demonstrated the ability to self manage (see Self Management Charter) fees are reduced to 10%.
Self Managed PLUS
Our fees = 20% of package value
For those who would like to self-manage but require extra help along the way. We complete full package set up and are more hands on in helping you navigate the aged care system, finding providers (you schedule them) and in maximising your home care package. We also work alongside you to manage your package funds and payments.

Real Reviews From People Just Like You
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.
Local Guardians is reasonable with its fee. Our case adviser Robyn is helpful, on time, patient. We are able to maximise the way we use our aged care package.
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.
Teneil is a pleasure to work with makes my life so much easier and is very available to contact
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 ☺️
Local Guardian took great care of my dad. I really appreciate all the love and support that was provided. Highly recommend.
