Commonwealth Home Support Programme

Funded by the Australian Government, the Commonwealth Home Support Programme provides a range of entry-level aged care services for older people who need assistance to keep living independently at home and in their community.

If you require assistance for:

• Transport and travel,
• At home care,
• Outings,
• Wellbeing, or
• Carer Support.

You may be eligible for the Commonwealth Home Support Programme services.

Life Choices – Support Services focus is to enable our community with choice and control over the services you or a loved one may require to continue living independently and actively at home.

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme provides entry-level assistance to assist you when you require support. This programme focuses on enablement and we provide services to assist you with the things you cannot do and encouragement to do the things you can. We want you to remain as independent as possible for as long as possible.

All referrals are done through My Aged Care. Life Choices – Support Services can assist you with this in our My Aged Care room, dedicated to assisting people with referrals or facilitating the tools for anyone to either phone or log on to My Aged Care independently.

The programme is for people aged 65 years and over (50 years and over for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people).

If you think you may be eligible for the Commonwealth Home Support Programmes speak with someone from the Life Choices – Support Services team today who will be able to provide you with the right advice and assistance.
