Support at Home Services

Supporting your well-being and enhancing your quality of life, at every stage of life and ability level.

Supporting safe and independent living at home

Support at Home offers a wide range of approved in-home aged care services designed to help older Australians live safely, independently, and with dignity in their own homes. This government-funded home care program focuses on delivering personalised aged care support that matches each person’s assessed needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Services aim to improve daily living, wellbeing, and safety while allowing older people to remain in familiar surroundings and maintain their preferred lifestyle.

As care needs change over time, Support at Home services can be reviewed and adjusted to ensure the right level of assistance continues. This flexible, needs-based aged care model supports long-term independence and quality of life through tailored in-home support services across Australia.

How services are determined under Support at Home

Services under Support at Home are identified through an assessment coordinated by My Aged Care. This process reviews a person’s health, daily living abilities, safety, and support requirements to determine the most appropriate in-home aged care services. The aim is to ensure care reflects actual needs rather than fitting within fixed package limits.

Following assessment, approved services are arranged and delivered in the home by authorised aged care providers. These providers coordinate care in line with national guidelines and individual care plans, ensuring services remain suitable and responsive as personal circumstances or care needs change over time.

Are all services available to everyone?

Not all services under Support at Home are automatically available to every individual. The support a person receives is based on an assessment that considers care needs, health conditions, daily living challenges, home environment, and personal circumstances. This process ensures services are matched to genuine needs rather than applying a standard set of supports to everyone.

As circumstances change, approved services can be reviewed and adjusted over time. This flexible approach helps ensure care remains appropriate, effective, and aligned with a person’s safety, wellbeing, independence, and quality of life at home.
