We make continence funding through HCPs simple, so clients can focus on what matters — comfort, dignity, and independence at home.
What Can Be Funded Through a Home Care Package?
A Home Care Package can fund a range of continence-related supports that improve comfort, independence, and quality of life. These supports must be clinically appropriate and directly related to the individual’s assessed care needs and goals.
At Caremmunity, we help clients and case managers use funding effectively by recommending services that meet both clinical and package requirements — always backed by clear documentation and professional advice.
Continence funding may be used for:
- Nurse-led continence assessments
- Personalised continence management plans
- Guidance on product use and daily routines
- Product recommendations and samples
- Ongoing education or follow-up where needs change
We ensure continence care fits comfortably within your HCP budget and care priorities.

Who Can Access Continence Funding Through a Home Care Package?
Home Care Package continence funding is available to older Australians who require support managing their bladder or bowel health as part of their overall care needs. If continence challenges are affecting daily activities, hygiene, independence, or wellbeing, funding may be available to support appropriate care and products.
At Caremmunity, we help families, case managers, and clients understand if continence care can be included in the current HCP budget — and guide them through accessing it.
Continence funding is commonly approved for clients who:
Experience bladder or bowel concerns that impact daily living
Require continence products for independence and hygiene
Need assistance with toileting, personal care, or night-time support
Have changing continence needs that require reassessment
Would benefit from clinical advice, strategies, or carer instructions
Our team ensures continence support is clearly documented, clinically justified, and easy to include in your package.
We also assist with service agreements, product recommendations, and care plan updates — so you can feel confident your client’s continence needs are covered.
That’s the Caremmunity.

FAQs: Continence funding Through a Home Care Package
What continence services can be funded through a Home Care Package?
Home Care Packages (HCPs) can fund a variety of continence-related supports, provided they are clinically appropriate and align with the client’s assessed care needs.
This may include continence assessments by a qualified Continence Nurse Specialist, the development of a personalised management plan, and ongoing support such as product recommendations, carer guidance, and follow-up education. These services aim to support older Australians in managing bladder or bowel concerns and maintaining their independence and dignity at home.
Who is eligible for continence funding through a Home Care Package?
To access continence funding, a person must have an approved Home Care Package (HCP) through My Aged Care. Eligibility is based on clinical need — typically involving ongoing bladder or bowel issues that require support, product use, or formal continence strategies.
If continence needs affect personal hygiene, mobility, daily routines, or require support from carers, funding for continence services is often available. Our team at Caremmunity can help confirm eligibility and recommend next steps.
How does Caremmunity help with HCP continence funding applications?
Caremmunity provides end-to-end support for HCP continence funding, starting with a detailed clinical assessment and followed by the preparation of a tailored Continence Management Plan. We also provide itemised quotes, product suggestions, and supporting documents required by care package managers to approve and allocate funds.
Everything is written in plain English, aligned with aged care standards, and easy for providers to process.
What continence products can be funded through an HCP?
Depending on the client’s care goals and needs, Home Care Packages may fund a range of continence products, including pads, pull-ups, bed protectors, toileting aids, and hygiene-related items. Our team offers clinical guidance on product suitability, frequency of use, and cost-effective options, ensuring clients get the right products without overusing their budget.
We can also provide sample support to help with decision-making.
Can continence funding be accessed at every Home Care Package level?
Yes. Continence support can be accessed through any level of Home Care Package (Level 1 to Level 4). The type and extent of funding available will depend on the package level and what other services are in use. At Caremmunity, we tailor our recommendations to suit the individual’s care goals and available budget, ensuring continence support is prioritised appropriately within the package.
What documentation is needed to access continence funding through HCP?
To receive funding approval, most care package managers require a continence assessment report, a written management plan, and itemised quotes or a service summary.
These documents must reflect clinical need and funding alignment. Our team ensures everything is properly prepared, making the approval process faster and simpler for both families and care providers.
Can Caremmunity help when continence needs change or increase over time?
Absolutely. If continence needs become more complex, or if a current plan no longer reflects the client’s condition, we can complete a review assessment and update the management plan accordingly. This ensures that clients continue to receive appropriate support — and that any changes in funding or service delivery are documented and clinically supported.
What if I’m not sure if continence support can be funded through my Home Care Package?
If you’re unsure whether your continence needs can be covered by your HCP, we encourage you to contact the Caremmunity team for a free, no-obligation consultation. We’ll help assess your current goals, care needs, and package inclusions — and let you know what continence services or products may be funded.

Absolutely wonderful company. The staff are extremely helpful and work hard to help you with your needs.

Highly recommend this store ❤️ Thankyou so much for your kindness and for your help today.
So easy to deal with, no mucking around having to fill forms in for NDIS clients, just ring up, place your order and tell them who your Provider is and they send the invoice out, so much easier!!
