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.
