Funding options

How is aged care funded?

There are several ways to fund aged care support in Australia. We can help you understand your options.

1

Support at Home

The Australian Government's Support at Home program replaced the Home Care Package (HCP) program from 1 July 2025. It provides government-subsidised support for older Australians to live independently at home, with funding levels tailored to your assessed needs. If you were previously on a Home Care Package, you will have transitioned to Support at Home.

2

Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)

Entry-level support for older Australians who need a small amount of assistance to stay independent at home. Includes services like domestic help, meals, and transport.

3

Private & Self-Funded

You can also access our services privately, without government funding. This gives you full flexibility and immediate access — no waiting lists.
