Support at Home fact sheets available


As the launch date for the new program approaches, the government has released a new series of fact sheets.

The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing is improving in-home aged care to help seniors live independently at home for longer. 

The new Support at Home program will begin on 1 November 2025, replacing the Home Care Packages (HCP) Program and Short-term Restorative Care (STRC) program. 


To help you understand what’s changing, new fact sheets have been developed. 

They cover: 

  • Service types and budgets to access care 

  • The list of services you can get under Support at Home 

  • How care management helps you use your aged care services well 

  • Getting assistive technology and home changes to live at home safely 

  • Extra funding for end-of-life support 

  • Help to stay independent with restorative care 

  • Managing your own services for more choice and control

  • Assistance for those experiencing financial hardship 

  • Participant contributions. 

You can find links to the fact sheets here.
