Do get expert, independent advice that has no alignment with providers.
Don’t be fooled by placement consultants who only show you the facilities that pay them—often these are not high-quality homes, and you won’t be getting the full picture.
At Well Placed Care, we’re proud to be the only independent consultancy in Australia that supports you across both in-home support and residential care placements for one flat fee. No commissions. No provider affiliations. Just your best interests at heart.
Why You Shouldn’t Navigate Aged Care Alone
Families often assume they can manage aged care decisions on their own—until they’re faced with confusing paperwork, urgent decisions, and conflicting advice.
The truth? Aged care is one of the most complex, emotionally loaded systems in Australia. Getting it right requires more than a Google search.
With 75% of aged care decisions happening in crisis situations (Productivity Commission, 2023), families don’t have time to research, compare, and negotiate with clarity or confidence. And that’s where truly independent guidance becomes invaluable.
Why Independence Matters
Many paid placement consultants only present aged care homes that offer them a commission. Their business model relies on kickbacks—not on advocating for you.
At Well Placed Care, our flat-fee service means we’re accountable only to you, not to any facility, provider, or government agency. Whether you’re exploring home care options or urgently need a residential placement, we deliver full-service support tailored to your situation.
We’ve saved clients up to $550,000 on their Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD), and halved additional service fees, thanks to our ability to negotiate without bias.
Six Reasons Why Families Choose Well Placed Care
1. You Get Unbiased Advice, Not Sales Pitches
When you work with a provider-paid placement consultant, you’re only being shown the homes that pay them—limiting your options, even if better choices are available.
Well Placed Care gives you a full view of the market, focusing on the best match for your needs, goals, and budget.
- Are all options truly being considered?
- Is your financial wellbeing a priority?
- Are decisions being influenced by hidden incentives?
With us, the answer is clear: you come first. Always.
2. You’ll Save Time, Stress, and Costly Mistakes
When aged care decisions happen in a crisis, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Hospital discharge planners may give you options—but their priority is freeing up a bed, not your family’s long-term wellbeing.
At Well Placed Care, we step in with urgency and experience, ensuring that decisions are made swiftly and strategically, without compromising on quality or suitability.
3. You’ll Get the Right Level of Care, Now and in the Future
Whether your loved one is ageing at home or entering residential care, we ensure you’re getting what’s truly needed—not just what’s on offer.
We help families:
- Understand care levels and funding options.
- Maximise entitlements.
- Make informed decisions that adapt to future care needs.
Unlike placement consultants, we support the entire aged care journey—from in-home packages to complex care transitions—all under one service model.
4. You’ll Avoid Paying More Than Necessary
Aged care pricing lacks transparency. Most families don’t know they can negotiate RADs, reduce daily fees, or structure costs in a way that suits their situation.
At Well Placed Care, we review everything—fees, funding, service contracts—and negotiate on your behalf. Our independent status gives us freedom to act in your best financial interests, not the provider’s.
5. You’ll Be Prepared, Instead of Making Rushed Decisions
Planning ahead gives you:
- Time to understand your options.
- Freedom to compare and choose the right path.
- Peace of mind for everyone involved.
We help you create a proactive care plan—so when the time comes, you’re already ahead of the game.
One Flat Fee. Full-Service Support. No Conflicts of Interest.
Unlike other services, Well Placed Care supports both in-home and residential care decisions under a single flat fee—providing genuine continuity of care and peace of mind, without upsells or hidden commissions.
We’re not just another placement service—we’re your partners in aged care planning.
