Helping To Keep You In Your Own Home
We work with you to co-ordinate a support plan that is individual to your needs, keeping you at home and as independent as possible.
​To be eligible for services, consumers are firstly assessed for eligibility by the Aged Care Assessment Team. This is a free assessment and we can assist you with the required referral. Referral can be from your local doctor, your family or yourself.
This can be done via the My Aged Care Website.
SUPPORT AT HOME PROGRAM
The support at home program offers government funded aged care services in your home, helping you to remain at home safely.
​
There are four funding types available:
Ongoing Support
A defined list of services to help you live at home for longer. Please see the Services list as defined by the Department of Health and Aged Care.
Assistive Technology and Home Maintenance
Provides funding for listed products, equipment, and home modifications tailored to individual needs.
Restorative Care
A short-term program designed to help older Australians regain independence after illness or injury, providing up to 16 weeks of tailored support.
End of Life
Essential support for older Australians nearing the end of life, allowing them to remain at home with dignity and comfort.
The Support at Home fee estimator is available on the My Aged Care website and assists individuals in estimating how much they may need to contribute for various services under the Support at Home program. This tool is particularly useful for planning your budget and understanding the financial implications of receiving care at home.
