Assistance with Aged Care Provider applications, registration renewals, policies and procedures
Our services are designed to let you match your resources and available budget. We assist new applicants to understand the Aged Care Act, Rules and Quality Standards and clearly communicate their suitability and compliance through provider application and registration renewal processes under the Support at Home Program.
“We couldn’t thank Kathryn and her team enough for the support and guidance through our Aged Care Provider application. Their work ethic and in-depth knowledge of the industry is comforting and reassuring through such a gruelling process. We are extremely excited to have received notification in May 2024 from the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission that we are now an approved provider of Home Care Services. We will continue to utilise SoCom Consulting and KLR Communications to guide and assist us moving forward.”

“SoCom Consulting helped Holicare prepare its application to become an approved provider of community nursing services on behalf of the Department of Veterans Affairs. From the outset, SoCom Consulting were very professional in their dealings with Holicare and demonstrated excellent knowledge of the community services sector. They listened carefully to our needs, provided considered and timely advice, and helped structure our application with coherent and compelling evidence. I was very impressed with their attention to detail and commitment to constructive teamwork. Importantly, our application was approved, and I could not be happier with the outcome.”
