A proud history of caring for our community
Established to meet the needs of Perth’s Greek community, St Basil’s has grown into an inclusive home care and respite organisation welcoming people from all cultures and backgrounds.
While our services have evolved, our commitment to personalised care remains unchanged. We take the time to understand each person’s individual needs, preferences and aspirations, working alongside them and their families to provide support that respects their choices and helps them continue living life their way.
Aged care support that adapts to your needs
It’s our mission to model the work of St Basil by treating others as ourselves; and to actively contribute to making the world a kinder, fairer place.
We know every family’s situation looks a little different, our services are adapted to meet your needs now and accommodate likely changes over time.
Home Care Packages
Support at Home, on your terms.
Government-funded support to help someone stay in their own home, from something as simple as providing a hand with cleaning or preparing delicious meals through to nursing care and other allied health services such as physiotherapy and podiatry. You decide how the funding is best used.
In-Home & Community Centre Respite Care
A real break, for both of you.
A support worker can visit at home, or your parent can spend the day at our Community Centre in Dianella, socialising, sharing a meal and joining in activities. It’s as much a chance for you to get some time back as it is a good day for them.
We support our clients in a number of areas
- Companion Care Services
- Support at Home
- Transport Services
- Dementia Care
- Palliative Care at Home
- Care Plan Management
- Alzheimer Care
- Senior Community Care
- Physiotherapy
- Podiatry
- Meal Preparation
- Occupational Therapy

By your side throughout every step
In practice, that’s a support worker noticing when someone’s having a harder day and adjusting without being asked, or a Care Manager taking the time to listen when something isn’t quite working and finding a better way forward together. It also means learning about a person’s culture and faith, because that understanding is often what makes someone feel genuinely cared for.
We’re here to make things easier
You don't have to take our word for it
Room to breathe, for you too
Respite and flexible care give you some time back, not just your parent. So you get to be their son or daughter again, not only their care coordinator.
Why families choose us – care that understands your language, culture and traditions
As a specialist provider for culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) communities, we match support workers to your language and culture wherever we can, and clients consistently tell us that familiarity changes how comfortable they feel.
What makes St Basil's different from other home care providers?
At St Basil’s, we believe great care starts with understanding the person behind the care needs.
As a not-for-profit organisation with strong community roots and a rich cultural heritage, we take the time to get to know you, your family and what matters most to you.
Our approach is personal, compassionate and culturally inclusive. We recognise that language, traditions, family connections and individual preferences all play an important role in feeling comfortable and supported at home.
Whether you need a little help with everyday tasks or more comprehensive care, our team works with you to develop support that respects your choices, maintains your independence and helps you continue living life your way.
What types of care do you provide?
We offer a wide range of home care and community support services to help you remain independent, comfortable and connected.
Depending on your individual needs and eligibility, our services include:
- Personal care, including assistance with showering, dressing and daily routines.
- Domestic assistance, such as cleaning, laundry and household tasks.
- Meal preparation and assistance with everyday living.
- Social support, companionship and community outings.
- Transport to appointments, shopping and community activities.
- Nursing and allied health services, including physiotherapy and podiatry.
- Respite care to provide family members and carers with a break.
We provide services through the Australian Government’s Support at Home and Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP), with care tailored to your assessed needs, preferences and available funding.
How do I know which care services are right for me?
You don’t need to have all the answers before contacting us. That’s what we’re here for.
Our friendly team will take the time to understand your circumstances, listen to your concerns and talk through the types of support that may be helpful.
If you already have government-approved aged care funding, we can help you understand your assessment, explore approved services and develop a care plan that reflects your needs and preferences.
Together, we’ll work towards a care arrangement that feels right for you and your family.
How do you select and train your caregivers?
We understand that inviting someone into your home is a big decision. Trust, safety and feeling comfortable with your care team are incredibly important.
Our recruitment process focuses on selecting support workers who demonstrate compassion, respect and a genuine commitment to supporting older people.
Our team members are required to meet relevant qualifications, screening and training requirements for their roles. We also support ongoing learning and professional development to help our staff deliver safe, high-quality and person-centred care.
Just as importantly, we look for people who understand that good care is about more than completing tasks. It’s about listening, building relationships and treating every person with dignity.
How do I know who's going to be caring for my parent?
We know how important it is for you and your parent to feel comfortable with the people providing care.
Before services begin, we take the time to understand your parent’s needs, routines and personal preferences. Wherever possible, we thoughtfully match support workers based on factors such as language, cultural background, interests and care requirements.
As best we can, we aim to provide familiar, consistent support workers so your parent can build trusting relationships and feel more comfortable receiving care.
While staffing arrangements may occasionally change due to leave or availability, we work to maintain continuity of care and keep you informed of changes, in accordance with your parent’s wishes and consent.
Your parent’s comfort and feedback matter to us, and we welcome conversations about what is working well or what could be improved.
How much do your care services cost?
If you are receiving support through the Australian Government’s Support at Home program, you will have a budget based on your assessed care needs. Some services are fully government-funded, while others may require a contribution depending on your individual circumstances.
Our team will explain our service prices, help you understand your available budget and discuss any expected out-of-pocket costs before your care begins.
We believe you should feel informed and confident about how your care is funded, with clear information and no unexpected charges.

What happens if St Basil's isn't the right fit for us?
Choosing a home care provider is a personal decision, and it’s important that you feel comfortable and confident in your choice.
If you have concerns about your care or feel that something isn’t working, we encourage you to speak with us. We’ll listen to your feedback and work with you to explore possible solutions.
If you decide another provider would better meet your needs, we respect your decision and will support you through the transition to help maintain continuity of care.
Our priority is ensuring you receive the support that is right for you, whether that’s with St Basil’s or another provider.
We're not ready to commit to anything yet, can we still get in touch?
Absolutely! You don’t need to be ready to start care to have a conversation with us.
Whether you’re exploring options for yourself, planning ahead for a parent or simply trying to understand how aged care works, our friendly team is here to help.
We’re happy to answer your questions, explain your options and help you understand what support might be available when the time is right.
There’s no pressure to make a decision. Sometimes, having an initial conversation is simply the first step towards feeling more informed and reassured.
Get in touch with our team today. We’d love to hear from you.
