What is Support at Home?
Support at Home is the Australian Government's approach to funding in-home aged care. In plain terms: it helps cover the cost of services that make everyday life easier and safer, so you can keep living the way you choose, at home.
Who it's for
Support at Home is designed for older Australians who want to stay independent at home, including:
- People just starting to explore aged care options
- People who already have funding and need a provider
- Family members organising care for a parent or relative
- People considering a change from their current provider
What it can cover
Funding can go towards a range of services, generally grouped as:
- Clinical Supports, Nursing and allied health support for people with clinical or health-management needs, coordinated as part of your overall care.
- Independence, Support that helps you stay active, connected and in control, from personal care to getting out and about.
- Everyday Living, Practical help around the home so day-to-day tasks stay manageable.
