How do I access meals through my Home Care Package?
About Cookaborough for Home Care Package (HCP) Recipients
Cookaborough supports HCP recipients to access rebated meals from local food businesses.
We provide a directory of local food businesses and make it easy for HCP recipients to access funding for freshly made home cooked / ready made meals. The food businesses on the platform are passionate about supplying older Australians with small-batch, locally-produced meals.
Start by signing up with Cookaborough, find a participating food business servicing your area, add your Care Provider's details and once approved, you will then be able to order meals and only be required to pay 30% of the meal cost upfront.
