Thea Caldbeck-Moore and Wendy Hora have been together for 40 years.
Ms Hora is now her partner's carer, as Ms Caldbeck-Moore waits in line to be approved for a home care package.
“I would love it to materialise tomorrow because we've needed this package way back in August when Thea first had her brain injury,” Ms Hora told SBS News.
“The tumour has upset her executive function, so she doesn’t cope very well with day-to-day tasks.”

While the pair are hopeful about the budget commitment to more home care packages, they're also cynical.
