COntinence aids payment scheme (CAPS)
What is CAPS?
CAPS is an Australian Government program. It provides a payment to eligible people, to help with some of the costs of buying continence products.
Once approved for CAPS by Medicare, you can use your funds to purchase continence supplies directly from us.
Eversun Healthcare can assist with managing your allocated funds
Once you have completed your CAPS application, with the Section 3 Health Report completed by your Doctor or Nurse, post the whole application to us at Eversun Healthcare PO Box 3101 The Pines VIC 3109.
We will complete Page 8, and post to Medicare.
CAPS applications may take up to 3 months for approval.

Home Care Packages
Home Care Packages (HCP) are one of the ways that older Australians can access affordable care services to get some help at home. They are designed for those with more complex care needs that go beyond what the Commonwealth Home Support Programme can provide.
Home Care Packages can be an option if you need a coordinated approach to the delivery of your help at home - perhaps because you need help with many everyday tasks, or the care you need is more complex or intensive.
Eversun Healthcare specialises in providing continence supplies to Levels 1-4 Home Care Packages.
