A Practical Guide to Support at Home for Older Australians
Support at Home: Now in Place for Older Australians
Support at Home is the Australian Government’s current in-home aged care program, now in effect, replacing the former Home Care Packages (HCP) framework and integrating short-term restorative supports into a single, streamlined system.
The program is designed to make it easier for older Australians to receive timely, flexible, and needs-based support while continuing to live safely and independently at home.
What Has Changed Under Support at Home
Support at Home introduces a more structured and transparent approach to in-home care, including:
– A clearer classification of services based on individual needs
– Improved flexibility in how supports are delivered
– A stronger focus on maintaining independence and functional ability
– Streamlined access pathways through a single in-home care system
Rather than navigating multiple programs, older Australians now engage with one integrated model that supports daily living, personal care, and social participation.

Getting started with Support at Home is a straightforward process. Individuals can undergo an assessment to determine their eligibility and care needs, following which a personalised care plan is developed to outline the specific services required.
