As the In Home Care (IHC) Support Agency for Western Australia and Northern Territory, we support families who need flexible education and care for their children in their own home.
We assess families to determine their eligibility for the IHC Program and connect them with IHC Service Providers that have educators available to meet their specific needs.
About In Home Care
In Home Care (IHC) is a flexible form of early childhood education and care delivered in the family home. The IHC program provides access to Government subsidised child care as an approved child care service that supports families’ workforce participation and ECEC requirements where other ECEC options (such as centre based care, family day care and outside hours care) are not suitable or available.
Who is it for?
The program is targeted towards families working non-standard hours, geographically isolated or those with complex and challenging needs.
