Support at Home

From 1 July 2025, in-home aged care services across Australia will transition to the new Support at Home program. 
 
Support at Home is a coordinated package of care and services to meet the assessed ageing related care needs of eligible older people. The program includes:
  • 8 ongoing classifications, where each level of funding provides varying levels of care.
    • Additionally, there are 4 classifications of transitioned Home Care Package recipients who on either 12 September 2024, were either receiving a package or assessed as eligible for a package. 
  • 3 short term support classifications:
    • the Restorative Care Pathway to regain or maintain independence 
    • the End-of-Life Pathway to support older people who have 3 months or less to live and wish to remain at home. 
    • the Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) Scheme for older people with an assessed need for equipment, products and/or home modifications.
