Welcome to Stirling Community Care
The City of Stirling, with support from the State and Commonwealth Governments, has been providing aged care services in the home and community for more than 35 years. We are a provider of services for Home Care Package (HCP) and Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP). Our services include home support, transport, home delivered meals, day clubs, social activities and carer respite..
Cessation to Home Care Package (HCP) and NDIS services
In 2021, the City of Stirling undertook a review of all Stirling Community Care services. After careful consideration the City had found that it is no longer best placed to provide services under the NDIS, and will cease to deliver NDIS services on the 31 December 2021.
The review also identified the need to adapt the City’s aged care support services to better align with our role as a Local Government. As a result, the City will cease to be a registered HCP provider, effective 31 December 2022.

Support for carers
If you are caring for someone receiving HACC services, you may be interested in attending the City’s carer support services. The Carers group offers the chance to regularly get together for networking, information sharing, social support and some laughter. We provide speakers on topics of interest, carers in the group provide support for each other and we also offer respite trips to provide a break from the responsibility of looking after someone and recharging your batteries. This is also an opportunity for carers to share their experiences with others and have some fun.
