Support at Home Program
The new government-funded program replacing Home Care Packages — delivering flexible, person-centred care to help you live independently.
What is Support at Home?
The Support at Home program is the Australian Government's new approach to funding home care, replacing the previous Home Care Package system. It provides eligible older Australians with a budget to purchase the supports they need to remain living safely and independently at home.
