Government-Supported Care for Your Independence
The Australian Government provides subsidies to help older Australians access the services and products they need to remain independent at home. These subsidies are available through two main programs:
Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP): Designed for those needing entry-level support to maintain their independence at home.
Home Care Packages (HCP): Tailored for individuals requiring more comprehensive care and support.
To access these programs, your needs must first be assessed by an authorised team:
Regional Assessment Service (RAS): For CHSP eligibility and support.
Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT): For Home Care Package eligibility and services.
These assessments ensure you receive the right level of care to match your circumstances and goals.
A Tailored Approach to Aged Care
Once your assessment is complete and your care eligibility is confirmed, our team of experienced case managers will guide you through the next steps. Together, we’ll sit down to discuss your needs, goals, and service preferences. This collaborative approach ensures your care package is not only comprehensive but also uniquely tailored to your individual situation.
Your care package may include:
Personal Care: Assistance with showering, dressing, grooming, and mobility to support your daily routine.
Domestic Assistance: Help with housework, laundry, and home maintenance to ensure your living space is safe and comfortable.
Meal Preparation and Nutrition Support: Assistance with preparing meals that meet your dietary needs and preferences.
Social Support: Help with attending appointments, shopping, or engaging in recreational and social activities to maintain your connection to the community.
Transport Services: Reliable transport to medical appointments or community activities, ensuring you remain mobile and connected.
Allied Health and Clinical Services: Access to physiotherapy, podiatry, speech therapy, and other clinical services delivered in your home.
Flexible Solutions for Changing Needs
As your needs and circumstances evolve, so too can your care package. Our case managers will remain in regular contact with you, reviewing and updating your care plan to ensure it continues to meet your requirements. Whether you need to adjust the services you receive or increase the level of support, we’ll work with you every step of the way.
