Specialised care & support for children and youth with health or injury related needs

Our approach to home care & support

We believe that every child deserves to grow and thrive in an environment that is supportive, nurturing, and tailored to their unique needs. Our Home Care & Support for Children and Youth with Health Conditions services are designed to provide compassionate, comprehensive, and professional care right in the comfort of your home. We are dedicated to ensuring that children and youth with health conditions receive the care and support they need to lead fulfilling lives.

We understand that managing a child’s health condition can be challenging for families. Our team of experienced caregivers and healthcare professionals work closely with families to create personalised care plans that address the individual needs of each child. With person-centred approach, we promote independence, enhancing quality of life, and supporting the well-being of both the child and their family.

Home based child care & support services

Helping your child or young person to get better and stay well is often easier when they’re living in the comfort of their own home.

Our Geneva Support Workers and Nurses, who have been selected especially for your family, can help your child to live well and transition from being supported in hospital to being able to return home. We’ll work with your primary care team to provide your family with a personalised support plan and follow-up programme.

Our services are free to those eligible for government funded support. We also provide private funded services.

Depending on your child’s needs, our services may include:

Personal care and daily living support

Assisting with bathing, dressing, eating, and mobility.

Specialist nursing care

From medication management and wound care to more complex medical needs.

Injury rehabilitation

Helping children recover and regain function after accidents or illness, with ACC-funded support where applicable.

Behavioural and developmental support
