local care professionals to assist you

RN-team

strong Registered Nurse clinical team (over 6 RNs to support you at home)

Clinical Care, not just rostering

Every clinical service is reviewed by a registered nurse. If your current provider feels impersonal to your needs, this is the difference you will notice first.

Continuity of Care Workers

We match you with a stable team and work to keep the same faces coming to your door - the single most common reason families tell us they left their last provider.
How switching works

Three steps. We do the awkward parts.

You do not have to confront your current provider, chase paperwork, or risk a week without support. Here is exactly what happens.

A real switch

"When a Dubbo provider closed, care continued the same week"

I signed up with DANS when I received my package, when my husband saw the difference in the service I was getting to what he was getting with another provider he moved over to DANS as well.

Questions

Answers to common questions about switching providers

Your funding carries over. One of our Care Partners completes your care plan at the commencement of service. Most clients keep the same hours when switching over.

Call us today. Provider closures are treated as priority transfers. We can usually put interim support in place while the package transfer is completed.

Most transfers are completed within your current provider's notice period, usually two weeks. If your provider has already closed or waives notice, we can often start sooner.

No. We schedule your DANS team to start on the date that works for you, so there is no gap in your care.

No. Once you decide to switch, we prepare and send the required notice on your behalf.

Yes. Your classification and budget carry across to DANS when you move to us.

No. Many of our best people started with no care experience. You can earn while you complete a Certificate III with our learn-and-earn pathway, and registered nurses support you on the job.

Easier to talk it through?

You'll reach a Central West local, not a call centre.
