Support at Home (SaH)
The Support at Home Program was introduced by the Australian Government on 1 November 2025, replacing the Home Care Packages Program and the Short-term Restorative Care Programme. It offers a simplified, coordinated, and flexible approach to care, helping you live independently at home for longer.
An aged care assessment* will determine your eligibility for ongoing or short-term Support at Home services. The Australian Government provides classified funding based on your assessed needs to cover the services you receive under the Support at Home Program, including:
- Eight funding classifications for ongoing services.
- Three short-term pathways for assistive technology, home modifications, restorative care, and end-of-life care.
- Four transitioned Home Care Package (HCP) classifications for those who have transitioned to Support at Home.
Support at Home participants may be required to make a contribution.
* The Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) comprehensively assesses the care needs of older people who have complex care needs that cannot be met by the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP).
