Anyone who obtains a government-funded Home Care Package has the alternative to 'self-manage' it.When you self-manage your Home Care Package, you get to make the majority of the decisions regarding how your money is spent to meet your requirements in an ideal way. This includes deciding who will assist you, what they will do, and when they will do it.
