Centre of Hope offers budgeting support for older people across Sydney: help to understand the costs of your agreed services, plan them within an agreed budget and keep track of planned service use, so you can make informed choices.
We aim to provide quality support at affordable rates. Our aged care price list is being finalised, and we will always talk you through the costs of your agreed services before support starts.

Good questions, honest answers.
Can you help me manage my service budget?
Yes. Where budgeting support forms part of the service arrangement, we can help you understand service costs, plan agreed supports within the available budget and keep track of planned service use. We provide information to support your decisions rather than taking control of your personal finances.
How much do your services cost?
We aim to provide quality support at affordable rates. Our aged care price list will clearly show relevant weekday, non-standard, weekend, public holiday, transport and other applicable service charges. Until it is published, we will talk you through the costs of your agreed services before support starts.
Do you provide care coordination?
Yes. Where included in the service arrangement, we can help organise services, communicate with relevant providers, coordinate appointments and support continuity of care. The client remains involved in decisions about their services and preferences.
Can I choose my support worker?
Yes. We value choice and will work with you to understand your preferences and find a suitable support worker, subject to worker availability.
How quickly can services start?
We aim to commence services as soon as possible. Once we understand your needs, location, preferred schedule and worker preferences, our team will work to arrange suitable support promptly.
Know where you stand.
Tell us a little about the support you or your family member needs, and we will talk you through the options. No pressure.
