Is Private-Pay Home Care right for you?

Sometimes you need care that moves at your pace, not the system's. Private-pay home care gives you flexibility, consistency and control, exactly when you need it.

It could be the right fit if you:
✔️ Need urgent support, such as a safe hospital discharge or extra help to prevent hospitalisation or residential care
✔️ Want to top up the hours you receive through the Support at Home Program
✔️ Are tired of last-minute cancellations and want a consistent care team
✔️ Need overnight support or 24/7 care at home
✔️ Are coordinating care for a parent and want things made simpler
✔️ Need a respite break, or are looking to provide relief for the main carer
✔️ Have the resources to pay privately on a fee-for-service basis

If any of these sound like you, we're here to help.

As part of our behind-the-scenes series, we're sitting down with the incredible people who make VIVA Mutual what it is. 💜

This week, Arthur caught up with Donna, one of our brilliant nurses, and asked her one simple question:
"What do you love about what you do here at VIVA?"

Donna's answer says it all:
🗣️ "I love the diversity. I like the things that are different day to day, the challenges we have sometimes, and no two days are the same. That's what I like about VIVA."

At VIVA Mutual, our Self-Managed Team model means our staff are empowered to bring their full skill, creativity and humanity to their work. No two days look the same, because no two people we support are the same. 🌿

We're proudly not-for-profit, we pay above award, and we invest deeply in training and development, because when our team thrives, the people we support thrive too.

💜 Built to anticipate, not just react.

When a participant living with Motor Neuron Disease (MND) faced rapidly progressing needs, from loss of mobility to PEG feeding and respiratory support, VIVA Mutual delivered a service model designed to stay one step ahead.

Through nurse-led clinical governance, proactive planning and a workforce trained in high intensity supports, we scaled seamlessly from 1:1 to 2:1 without ever disrupting continuity or dignity.

The outcome:
🩺 Safe, complex clinical supports delivered at home
🏡 Autonomy maintained throughout disease progression
🤝 Compassionate end-of-life support, on the participant's terms

This is what's possible when a Self-Managed Team model meets strong clinical governance, skilled, empowered, and proudly not-for-profit.

🎬 Go Behind the Scenes with VIVA Mutual

A journey behind the scenes of what it really takes to operate as a registered NDIS and Aged Care provider.

You'll see:
👥 How we recruit the right people
🛡️ How we manage quality and safeguarding
📚 How we train our staff to deliver exceptional support in the community
💡 The investment, the systems and the heart behind every service we provide

Because delivering support in people's homes and communities is complex work, and we believe in being transparent about what goes into doing it well.

Along the way, you'll meet the people making it happen, hear from the team shaping your experience as a participant, and get a real look at the depth of work that sits behind a high-quality, not-for-profit provider.

We reinvest into our people, our training and our quality, so the people we support can truly live the life of their choosing.

✨ Your Story, Your Way.

Meet VIVA Crew, a space built on one simple, powerful idea: everyone belongs here. 💜

VIVA Crew is a welcoming, inclusive community where young people are accepted exactly as they are, celebrated for everything that makes them wonderfully unique. No masks. No pressure. Just belonging.

🌟 Build genuine friendships

🌟 Grow in confidence, at their own pace
🌟 Discover what they love and where they shine

Because when you feel like you truly belong, that's when you really start to shine. ✨

VIVA Crew reflects everything we stand for at VIVA Mutual, person-centred, empowering and built around the people we support, not the other way around. As a proudly not-for-profit provider, every program we run is shaped by lived experience and reinvested back into our community.

✨ Built around the person, not the diagnosis.

When CI, aged 65, was navigating early onset dementia, Alzheimer's and post-stroke complications, living alone was no longer safe or sustainable. But her story didn't stop there.

Through 24/7 stabilisation support, collaborative transition planning, and a gradual, person-centred move to Supported Independent Living, VIVA Mutual helped CI find something far greater than safety.

She found connection. Routine. And a genuine sense of belonging. 💜

The outcome speaks for itself:
🌿 Reduced isolation
🌿 Improved wellbeing
🌿 A sustainable model of support shaped around her, not her diagnosis

This is what our Self-Managed Team model makes possible, support that listens, adapts and empowers. As a proudly not-for-profit provider, every decision we make is guided by one belief: people deserve to live the life of their choosing, at every stage.

Today, on International Nurses Day, we proudly celebrate the incredible nurses who make a difference every single day. 💙

This year’s theme, “Our Nurses. Our Future. The economic power of care,” highlights the vital role nurses play in improving health outcomes, strengthening communities, and changing lives through compassion, expertise, and dedication.

At VIVA, we are especially grateful for the leadership and commitment of our Nurse Lead, Donna, whose care and support continue to make a lasting impact on both our team and the people we support.

Thank you to Donna and to all nurses across Australia for the compassion, resilience, and professionalism you bring to your work every day. Your care truly shapes our future. 🌟

It’s a two-way street… the more we bounce off each other, the better the support is. 💜

For Fiona, great support is about more than just skills, it’s about people.

Yes, clinical capability matters. Safe, knowledgeable manual handling is essential to ensure comfort, dignity and wellbeing. But just as important is the energy, attitude and connection of the people providing that support.

Consistency. Trust. Understanding.

A team that works together, not just for someone, but with them. Because the best outcomes happen when everyone feels supported.

If you’re looking for a team that gets the balance right, we’re here.
