What are self-funded supports?

Self-funded supports are services that you pay for yourself, either as an individual or with support from your family or carers.

Self-funding gives you greater flexibility and control over the support you receive. You can choose the services that best suit your needs, how often you receive support, and how long you access services for.

Self-funded supports can be a good option if you:

  • prefer greater flexibility and choice
  • are waiting for government funding to be approved
  • don’t meet the eligibility requirements for a funded program
  • want to supplement the support you’re already receiving
  • need short-term, urgent or one-off assistance

Getting started

Get in touch with our team to discuss your needs and the support you’re looking for. We’ll help you understand the services available and identify the supports that best suit your situation. Once you’ve chosen the services you need, we’ll work with you to arrange support and get started as soon as possible.

What does it cover?

Self-funded supports can be used to access a wide range of services across Kirinari.

Depending on your needs, this may include:

  • in-home support to help you remain independent at home
  • social groups and community activities for older people
  • speech pathology
  • occupational therapy.

Self-funded support means paying privately for the services you need, rather than using government funding.

Anyone can enquire about self-funded support. Our team will work with you to understand your needs and discuss the services that may be suitable for you.

Yes. Many people choose self-funded support while waiting for funding to be approved. Once your funding is in place, we can help you transition to funded services where appropriate.

The services available will depend on your individual needs and location.

Because self-funded support doesn’t require government approval, services can often begin sooner than funded supports. Timeframes will vary depending on the service you require, your location and staff availability.
