My Homecare puts you in the driver’s seat, allowing you to view, modify, or share information about your home support services online. It’s easy to use, and free for all of the people supported by HealthCare NZ. Combined with our team’s experience and expertise, you get real care, real choice, and real peace of mind.

What is My Homecare?

My Homecare is an online tool that allows you and your family to have greater choice and control of your home support services online. You can easily search for available services, schedule and track your preferred care times, book extra help, choose your own HealthCare NZ Certified Support Workers to best match your needs, and share information about your care plan with your loved ones.

How does it work?

It’s easy to use My Homecare – you have the option to view, use or share it. The choice is up to you: you can use it as much or as little as you want.

View: You will be able to view your care calendar for a whole month – both past and present appointments are visible, as well as cancelled shifts. There is also a summary of recent visits which details date, time, Support Worker and type of care.

Use: You can manage your own schedule, change date, start & end time, duration, and the services required, or book any additional care you may need. You can choose your own qualified Support Workers within your area, and check their profiles for location, skills, qualifications, driver license details and availability. You can also add feedback about a particular shift without picking up the phone.

Share: You can invite loved ones to view or manage your support services. You are able to give them limited or full access 24/7 to manage your care services on your behalf.
