Tenma Health Care Services (THCS)
Tenma Health Care Services provides personalised, respectful and reliable home care services designed to help older Australians maintain their independence, wellbeing and quality of life at home.
Our team works with individuals and their families to provide practical support tailored to their circumstances, goals and assessed needs.
We understand that remaining independent at home can require the right combination of support, encouragement and practical assistance.
Our goal is to help you continue doing the things that matter to you while receiving the support you need.
Government-Funded Home Care Programs
THCS supports eligible clients accessing Australian Government funded home care programs, including:
Commonwealth Home Support Programme
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme helps eligible older Australians access entry-level support to remain living independently in their own homes and communities.
Support at Home
The Support at Home program provides a broader framework for ongoing home care and support for eligible older Australians, with services tailored to individual needs and circumstances.
Eligibility, funding and available services are determined under the relevant Australian Government program.

Wellness & Reablement

Health & Wellbeing Support
Where included within the relevant program and approved supports, our experienced team can assist with services that contribute to maintaining health, wellbeing and independence.
Care Tailored to You
Everyone's circumstances are different.
We take the time to understand what matters to you, what you want to achieve and where you need support.
Your services are designed around your individual needs, preferences and goals, with an emphasis on maintaining your independence and choice.
Working With Your Existing Supports
You may receive support from multiple providers or government-funded programs.
THCS works collaboratively with other providers where appropriate to help coordinate services and reduce unnecessary duplication.
For clients also receiving DVA Community Nursing, the DVA Community Nursing service remains focused on clinically necessary nursing and personal care, while other eligible home support needs may be addressed through the appropriate government-funded program.
Who Can Access Government-Funded Home Care?
Eligibility depends on the relevant Australian Government program and your individual circumstances.
If you are unsure which program may be appropriate for you, our team can help you understand the available pathways and what steps you may need to take.
