We have provided information below on what we know about this change and will continue to update as we get further information.

Support at Home

  • The Australian Government is investing $5.6 billion in making the biggest changes to aged care in 30 years.

    • Simplified Access: The new program will provide a single point of access for all in-home aged care services, making it easier for older Australians to navigate the system and find the support they need.

    • Greater Flexibility: Support at Home will offer a more flexible approach to care, allowing individuals to choose services that best meet their unique needs and preferences.

    • Improved Quality of Care: The program aims to ensure higher standards of care through stronger regulatory oversight, better training for caregivers, and increased focus on quality and safety.

    • Personalised Support Plans: Each person receiving care will have a personalised support plan tailored to their specific needs and goals, which will be reviewed regularly to ensure it remains relevant and effective.

    • More Efficient Use of Resources: By integrating multiple programs into one, the government aims to reduce duplication and administrative costs, ensuring more funding goes directly to frontline services and support.

    • 1 July 2025: The Support at Home program will officially replace the Home Care Packages Program and Short-Term Restorative Care Programme.

    • 1 July 2027: The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) will transition to the new Support at Home program. The exact date for this transition will be confirmed closer to the time.

If you would like to keep up to date with any changes please visit the Support at Home Government Page, where you can register to receive aged care newsletters and alerts. Alternatively, there are fact sheets and resources via My Aged Care.

We will, of course, endeavour to keep you updated as frequently as we can.
