About the Support at Home Program
The Support at Home program is set to launch in Australia on 1st July 2025 designed to consolidate several existing in-home care programs into a simpler, fairer system. The primary goal is to improve access to services, equipment, and home modifications, thereby helping older Australians remain healthy, active, and socially connected to their communities. The program was created in response to recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety and focuses on providing timely, equitable, and higher-quality care. The program will replace the current Home Care Packages & Short-Term Restorative Care programs, focusing on helping older individuals live independently at home for as long as possible.
