Overview
About HomeCaring Ballarat
HomeCaring Ballarat is a local home care provider led by Director Amanda Kinniburgh, a Registered Nurse with more than 20 years of experience in Critical and Primary Care Nursing. We believe a better care experience starts with a team that genuinely understands the community they serve. Backed by a trusted national provider, we support seniors to stay independent at home and live well in Ballarat and surrounding suburbs.
Amanda brings deep knowledge of Australia's aged care system along with a personal understanding of what great home care should look like. Together with her team of skilled local carers, she takes the time to build meaningful relationships and create care plans that reflect your needs, preferences, and goals. We offer comprehensive home care support including personal care, domestic assistance, clinical care, and community participation.
Our point of difference is that we belive respect and dignity should always be at the heart of care, no matter someone's age or background. At HomeCaring Ballarat, we're here to make life at home safer, more comfortable, and more supported, for as long as someone wishes to stay there.
Our team is passionate about supporting individuals and families in the Ballarat community with care that genuinely makes a difference.
