Home care packages

Cookaborough makes it easy for Home Care Package recipients to find and order locally made meals.

Home Care Packages (HCP) is a Government Program that enables eligible senior Australians the ability to access funds to stay at home for longer. A key part of HCP is that these customers are only required to pay 30% of the cost of the meal upfront.

Historically it has been difficult for HCP recipients to access high quality, locally produced meals, with most available options mass-produced, with little opportunity for choice and variety. 
Get approved for meals

Are you a Home Care
Package recipient?

The meal providers on the platform are passionate about supplying older Australians with small-batch, locally-produced meals. Get approval to receive meals as part of your HCP. Start by signing up with Cookaborough, add your Care Provider's details and then you can choose from a range of food businesses in your area.

Senior Australians love it!
