Age Up Health

Age Up Health is a home care agency based in Carrum Downs, Victoria, providing person-centred in-home support services to older Australians across Melbourne's eastern suburbs, including Lilydale, Box Hill, Ringwood, Doncaster, and Clayton. Founded by Grace Petherick after her grandparents experienced poor treatment from a large aged care provider, the agency focuses on consistent care companions, clear fees, and direct access to care staff. Services are funded through the Australian Government's Support at Home program, with care management fees capped at 10% and all-inclusive hourly rates for personal care, cleaning, meal preparation, shopping, and companionship. The agency also runs a Free Care Program offering up to 12 weeks of no-cost support for people who have been on the national home care waitlist for six or more months. Age Up Health is backed by Kinyara Health and provides allied health coordination and NDIS support services alongside its home care offering.
