(*) 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
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.
