From wellbeing as you age, to complex care at any stage.
For more than a century, Silverchain has been trusted by generations of Western Australians to deliver quality health and aged care services at home and in the community.
With a history as pioneers in home care, we continue to set the benchmark for care at home, supported by the latest research and technology.
We deliver care that Australians want today, and are designing the future of care at home, so our clients receive the
best care, every time.
Our aim is to create a better home care system for all Australians.
The next generation of health and aged care
Everyone deserves the right to receive the best care. It’s our goal to provide the care you need, where you need it – at home or in the community.
Working closely with you, your family, carers, and other service providers, we provide complete care so you can maintain the best possible physical and mental health.
We are proudly one of the only Australian home care providers accredited in both the national health and aged care standards. This means that the services we provide to you at home and in the community meet the same government safety and quality standards that you receive in a hospital or aged care facility.
For the last three years, we have won the Most Trusted Home Care Provider Award in WA.

Our difference
At Silverchain, we are changing the way care is provided and transforming the way it is received. Here’s how we set the benchmark for care at home.
Accessing our services
Our services are designed to meet many health and aged care needs, and are primarily funded by your State or Australian Governments.
Aged care services
If you or your loved one is aged 65 years and over, or are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander over
50 years, you may be eligible for government funding for aged care services.
This will be through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), Home Care Package (HCP), or other shorter term funding programs like Short Term Restorative Care (STRC).
To apply for government subsidised aged care funding, visit My Aged Care on myagedcare.gov.au or call 1800 200 422. Alternatively, you can speak to your GP for a referral.
You can also pay for your own aged care services at any age. Contact our team for more information.
Health services
To find out if you are eligible for our health services, you can speak to your GP, hospital clinician, or health professional about a referral. There are different funding options available based on your situation. Our team can discuss these options with you.
