Disability can be difficult to define because every individual is different.

What may prove a slight inconvenience to one person may be a life-changing trauma to another. While one person living with disability may live alone and be fully self-sufficient, another may struggle to undertake even the simplest of tasks without assistance.

Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) suggests more than one in five people live with disability in Australia. 

As part of its measurement metrics, the ABS identifies those living with disability as anyone who has “at least one of a list of limitations, restrictions or impairments, which has lasted, or is likely to last, for at least six months and that restricts everyday activities”. 

To help define the different degrees of impact, the ABS groups disability into mild, moderate, severe or profound limitation. This is then determined by whether a person needs help, has difficulty, or uses aids or equipment across self-care, mobility and communication activities.

Whether you need access to life-changing assistive technology, help getting dressed or assistance with managing your allied health appointments, Just Better Care is sure to have an experienced team member ready and willing to help.

Knowledge is king

To help ensure you and your family feel safe and supported by our team members, we offer access to real-time updates and information through our award-winning app, My JBC. 

This allows you to view and manage your care schedule, access medical and health information securely and stay in touch with your local Just Better Care office. 

There is even a How-to video online that walks you through the app’s most popular features.


Your security is our priority

For further peace of mind, we also provide one of the best staff training programs available in the industry, through which all team members are thoroughly screened before you invite us into your home. 

We undertake a variety of background checks and references and even issue each team member with a visible identification card containing their name, photo and office contact details.

In the event there is a change in your usual team member, we will make every effort possible to notify you ahead of your scheduled appointment. 

Just Better Care supports you and your loved ones to live the life of your choosing. To find out how contact your nearest Just Better Care office.
