“I’m so glad I made the decision to change to self managed with Gratitude, after 4 years of being managed.
I now look forward to the services I chose and need.
Best of all, nobody who walks through my door, is a stranger.
They are personally chosen, by me.”
Lee K – “At last the freedom I’ve always wanted. To have a say in who comes and goes in my care team. My Physio, house cleaner! And support personal are all on board and the transition was seamless and easy. If an 81 year old can do it, anyone can. My only regret is! That I didn’t do it long ago. So why didn’t I? Because I didn’t know I could. I’m looking forward to a long and happy partnership with Gratitude.”
Step one – Contact Gratitude home care specialists, who will help you understand how self-management services with Gratitude works and the costs involved.
Step two – We will ask about the services you require and if you know subcontractors that complete those tasks, we can make some recommendations if we know any subcontractors in your local area but it will be up to you to organise the supports.
Step three – You will complete the intake documentation and sign a service agreement with Gratitude, then you can start organising your subcontractors.
Step four – When you’re organising your subcontractors, keep in mind that they must have a police check, ABN, and insurance. We will sign a separate agreement with the supplier before processing their invoices for the work they provide you. We process the invoices on a weekly basis.
Step five – When you start receiving services it’s important to stay within budget. We will send monthly statements so you can track spending and the budget we see on the portal.

The Australian government is introducing the Integrated Assessment Tool (IAT) and a Single Assessment System to improve aged care assessments. These reforms aim to simplify the process for older Australians by:
• Reducing the need to repeat assessments: A single pathway will be used, minimising the need to tell their story multiple times.
• Improving access: Assessments will be available in regional, rural, and remote areas, with reduced wait times.
• Tailoring assessments: The IAT will gather comprehensive information on an individual’s needs, including activities of daily living, cognition, and psychosocial needs.
