Use our app to check your service schedule
To make it easier for clients and their carers to keep track of their service schedule, AccessCare has a free and easy-to-use app.
Through this app, you can quickly check your upcoming appointments and services, communicate with our customer service team and even request service changes.
Designed to help you better manage your services and keep in control of your own healthcare, our app offers another way for you to connect with your support workers and the AccessCare team.
Please note: currently, the AccessCare app is only available to clients who receive their funding under the Commonwealth Home Support Programme. If you have a Home Care Package, you won’t be able to use our app for the time being.
