Home Care Packages
TransCare is now able to take on clients who have been allocated a Home Care Package by My Aged Care.
Clients who are currently on the Commonwealth Home Support Programme may have received a letter letting them know of their eligibility. If this is the case all you need to do is give us a call or pop in with the letter and our staff will arrange services to meet your needs.
Select 3 at the switch when you call the office.

NDIS Support
Now that TransCare is taking on NDIS clients we are able to celebrate their successes and achievements with them. Recently Karen Beckingham used some of her funding to purchase a motorised scooter that will help her independently get around Scone.
TransCare staff have encouraged Karen to ride the scooter and supported her while learning how it works.
Karen receives domestic assistance and social support individual with TransCare through her NDIS package.
If you would like to know more about how we can help you select 3 at the switch to speak with our NDIS Administration Assistant Paulette.

Supporting TransCare
Barwick House is our hub and our home, a feat that may not have been possible without the generosity of locals Sid and Percy Barwick.
The building at 214 Kelly Street Scone was purchased in 2011 when the brothers left a significant donation for TransCare bequeathed in their Will.
When completing your Will you have the option to include a charity like TransCare as a beneficiary, and we appreciate any support you are willing to give.
TransCare is a registered charity and we are also able to accept tax deductible donations.
