The Support at Home program

The Australian Government’s Support at Home program aims to improve access to aged care services, products and equipment so you can stay healthy, live independently at home, and stay connected to your local community. 

The Support at Home program (previously known as the Home Care Package program) is an Australian Government aged care funding program that helps you to receive services and support where you are most comfortable, at home.

There are eight levels of ongoing Support at Home funding available and as your needs change, you can be re-assessed to receive more funding for higher levels of care.

There are also three short term funding pathways in addition to ongoing funding available, these include:

• Restorative Care Pathway: Short term support to maintain and improve your independence through a variety of allied health services.
• End of Life Pathway: Additional funding to access services and remain at home during your last three months of life.
• Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) Scheme: Access to products, equipment and home modifications to help you live independently at home.
