What to know about home care in Bendigo

Bendigo’s market mixes the public hospital service — Bendigo Health, which coordinates aged care at home across nine Loddon Mallee council areas — with state-wide not-for-profits like Benetas and Care Connect, newer locally owned franchises (Pearl arrived in 2023, alongside Just Better Care), and locally headquartered regional specialist Your Care.

Published local rates (for example, personal care around $118/hr) are comparable to metro pricing, but coverage beyond Greater Bendigo into shires like Loddon and Buloke thins out quickly, with the public provider carrying much of the remote load. If you’re outside town, confirm coverage first — our guide to choosing a provider covers what else to ask.

Common questions

Are these all the home care providers in Bendigo?

No. Other providers also service the region, and our directory grows as we add and verify more. For the complete official register, use the find-a-provider tool on My Aged Care (myagedcare.gov.au) or call 1800 200 422.

Does being listed here mean you recommend a provider?

No. A listing is not an endorsement — we haven’t assessed the quality of any provider’s care. We may receive a fee from providers when we refer you; that never changes what we write or who appears here.

How do I contact one of these providers?

Use the “View contact details” button on a provider’s card, or ask us to introduce you. Before you sign anything, ask each provider for their current price list and whether visits to your address carry travel charges — there’s no rush, and no fee for changing your mind later.
