Carroll, The Defence Health Fund has a Mother Care Program which I have been lead to believe includes home help and a variety of other services.
It is part of the Member Support Program, available to those mothers, who leave hospital early (Must have support of the doctor and hospital staff). Services include as midwifery, early childhood nursing, home cleaning, baby monitor, cloth or disposable nappy services and or childcare. To qualify you must be eligible for obstetric benefits at the time you have your baby, be admitted to one of the selected agreement hospitals and elect to go home early. Further information on this program can be found at http://www.defencehealth.com.au/indexm.htm. Click on the Mother Care Link. There is a PDF file available for downloading.

I am after more information on the home help program discussed in ACA last night (didnt see it) and also any other similar programs around Australia. Anything you can give me - even just the names of the service providers and I can chase them up myself. Thanks.
