Getting paid to care for a family member in Nunavut
The short answer: there is no confirmed direct-funding or paid family caregiver program in Nunavut. The territory's Home and Community Care (HCC) Program provides home care and support in kind rather than funding you manage yourself. If that changes, this guide will be updated.
What is available
The HCC Program delivers home care and community support services directly to people who need them, so the practical question is what services you can get arranged rather than what budget you can control.
How to access it
Request support through your community health centre or local home care office, or call Territorial Home and Continuing Care at 867-975-5941.
What else to look at
Federal caregiver tax credits and benefits still apply even where no territorial payment program exists, and clear records of caregiving hours and expenses make those easier to claim. Start with the benefits checker below.
