Taking care of you at home

needing help at home?
Barunga Community Care
can support you
Barunga Community Care offers a range of services to people living independently at home in the Mid North and Yorke Peninsula.
From support in the garden – keeping things neat by mowing the lawn or trimming the hedge, to help in the home – gathering the essentials on the weekly shop or lightening your load by doing the ironing. We are here to help keep you in your home, in your community.
Since receiving help at home, it has allowed us to focus on the things we enjoy in life – Terry goes fishing and I spend time in my sewing room, all while our housework and gardening is done. We are also very thankful for the transport service – travelling to Adelaide for appointments is made easier and stress-free by the BCC team.

In November 2025, the Australian Government introduced a new funding program called Support at Home. This new program will replace the current Home Care Package (HCP) program.
