Mycare

Mycare is a digital homecare marketplace that enables an easy way to find, manage and pay for in-home care services. With no joining fee, people can connect with over 14,000 preapproved ‘Mycarers’ (care workers who are part of the Mycare community) nationwide. People with homecare needs can find local Mycarers of their choice, whilst maintaining the human touch.

Covid Care in the Community Fund

Mycare applied for and received funding thanks to a Disabled Peoples Communications and Care Package grant from Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand for our initiative to provide care packages to those in the disabled community experiencing Covid.

Mycare's planned programme with this funding was to use our extensive network of police-vetted, qualified Mycarers to provide 4 hours of short-notice care to anyone in the disabled community having to isolate due to Covid.

This care can cover whatever is needed by the client during isolation: anything from collecting groceries or medication through to assistance with personal care or household management. Prior to our programme starting, feedback from our clients in the disabled community had highlighted the difficulty they were facing if normal care was interrupted due to their household having to isolate.
