Our support services are designed to provide comprehensive, dependable assistance that enhances your daily living and overall wellbeing. From personalised health monitoring to practical day-to-day support, we focus on delivering care that aligns with your individual needs, goals, and lifestyle. With a compassionate approach and highly trained professionals, we ensure you receive the right level of support to live safely, confidently, and independently.
Our General Nursing Care provides a broad spectrum of professional support to meet the everyday health needs of our clients. Our registered and enrolled nurses assist with vital signs monitoring, medication administration, chronic disease management, mobility support, and personal care. Beyond routine tasks, we actively monitor for changes in health status, provide patient education on self-care, and collaborate with family and healthcare providers to ensure continuity of care. By combining clinical expertise with compassion, we empower clients to maintain independence, enhance wellbeing, and achieve optimal health outcomes in the comfort of their home or care environment.
Our home care services for aged care and those living with a disability entail more than checking off tasks: companion care services, for instance, emphasise social connection while also ensuring the care recipient’s unique needs are addressed. People who live alone often experience feelings of loneliness and isolation, which can severely impact their physical and mental health. For older adults and people living with a disability, those opportunities to make social connections can diminish for numerous reasons, such as restricted mobility outside the home or lack of connection outside of the home. Companion care services can encourage self-confidence, increase independence and restore a sense of purpose to someone’s life, all while creating feelings of social connection that every human needs.
Our in-home personal care services, provide older Australians and NDIS participants with a helping hand for their day-to-day needs. This empowers our clients to continue living independently and safely in their own homes. Our support workers assist with accomplishing daily tasks, such as showering, transfers, grooming and toileting. In-home personal care services delivered by non-family members ensure seniors and the disabled can complete those tasks while also maintaining their dignity and independence—while benefitting the family dynamic. The key difference between in-home personal care and companion care is that companion care does not include physical touching. Companion caregivers don’t need any special qualifications, but in-home personal care caregivers typically have a skill set that enables them to assist with many daily living activities.
Carer burnout is a serious issue in Australia. Respite care has become more important than ever, with more than 90% of primary carers report feeling physically or mentally exhausted due to their caregiving responsibilities. Respite offers carers the chance to catch their breath while ensuring care recipients remain in safe and capable hands. Respite is for the carer’s wellbeing and the welfare of recipients also. If your primary carer needs a break for a short or a long holiday, our respite care team steps in while primary carers step away—with peace of mind knowing their loved ones remain in good hands. It’s a chance for primary carers to recharge their batteries and restore balance in their mental and physical wellbeing. Live-in care services empower aged care recipients to remain in their own homes—even during the later stages of life.
Our transport service provides reliable transportation solutions for aged persons and NDIS participants to safely access the community and essential services. Whether it's for medical appointments, social events, or simply running errands, our transportation support ensures that participants can maintain their autonomy and continue their active involvement in community life. This service is pivotal for those who cannot drive or access public transport easily, providing them with the freedom to move about safely and independently.
High-quality home care can extend outside the home: many older Australians and NDIS participants rely on handyman and gardening services to keep exterior spaces safe and attractive. Shannon Aged Care and disability provide workers with the best gardening maintenance services, including lawn mowing, weeding and garden care.
Our Community Access services focus on enhancing your engagement and integration within the community, providing essential support for participating in social, appointments, shopping, recreational, and educational activities, as well as facilitating convenient transportation to ensure you can navigate and connect with your community effortlessly. Community participation connects individuals with activities that grow personal interests and promote skill development. From art workshops to technology classes, we facilitate access to a variety of innovative programs that not only enrich the participant’s life but also encourage active and meaningful involvement in the community.

Managing diabetes effectively requires a specialised approach, and our Diabetes Assessments are designed to do exactly that.

We collaborate with doctors, dietitians, and allied health professionals to ensure a coordinated care plan that empowers clients to manage their condition safely, prevent complications, and maintain a high quality of life.
For clients with complex or high-care needs, our High-Intensity Assessments provide an in-depth evaluation of all health aspects, including multiple chronic conditions, cognitive function, mobility, nutrition, and social support. Our nurses develop detailed, personalised care plans that address medical, functional, and psychosocial needs, coordinate multidisciplinary care, and provide high-level interventions as required.
