The right support starts with the right team.

Participants tell us the thing that matters most is consistency: Support Workers who know your routine, your preferences and your goals, and who turn up reliably week to week.

Matching a team is a process, not a one-off decision. Your local Just Better Care office takes the time to understand your needs, your preferences and how you like to communicate before matching you with qualified, compassionate Support Workers. In our 2025 customer survey, 93 per cent of customers said they were happy with their matched Support Worker.

This is the first of four articles running throughout each week of September to mark 2026 Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month. Part 1 seeks to understand dementia; it's an umbrella term for 100+ conditions, not a single disease, and it's Australia's leading cause of death. There are approximately 446,500 Australians currently living with dementia.

This September, we're publishing a four-part series on dementia. Part 1 covers the basics: what dementia is, who it affects, and why the silence needs to end.

An hour of care is not an hour of wages.

When a price for in-home care looks higher than you expected, it helps to know what actually sits behind it: the worker in front of you, the travel time they are paid for, the clinical oversight of your plan, and the systems that keep it all safe and compliant.

Read the full breakdown:

An hour of care is not an hour of wages. What makes up in-home care pricing under Support at Home: the funding levels, what you contribute, and what providers cannot charge.

A few moments from our recent Connect Sessions 💙

These team meetings are a valuable opportunity for our team to come together, share updates, strengthen their knowledge and stay connected.

We were also pleased to welcome Simon from LifeVac as our guest speaker. Simon delivered an informative session on choking awareness and the LifeVac—a non-invasive airway-clearance device designed to help remove an obstruction when standard choking first aid has been unsuccessful.

The LifeVac device has now helped save more than 6,000 lives worldwide.

Thank you to Simon and everyone who attended and contributed. Ongoing learning helps our team continue providing safe, high-quality support to our customers.

A large new study of almost a million couples has found that spouses of people with dementia face a higher risk of developing it themselves. The researchers were clear that a higher risk is not the same as a certainty, and there are practical steps that help.

For carers, that means looking after your own health too: prioritising sleep, staying socially connected, managing cardiovascular health such as blood pressure, and accessing respite care regularly rather than waiting until burnout sets in.
