What is Support At Home ?
The Australian Governmentโs Support at Home Program helps you to live independently in your own home for as long as possible. The program provides funding towards a range of care, support services and care management tailored to meet your individual needs. A professional assessor will work with you to determine if Support at Home is the right service for you, what types and levels of support you require, and when you might need them.
There are 8support levels within the Support at Home Program, each offering different amounts of funding based on the level of care and services you need. The funds are paid to the approved provider you choose, who will manage the funds and deliver care management, support services, advice, and coordination on your behalf. These funds help cover the cost of the services you receive, but they are not paid directly to you. Higher support levels provide access to more intensive or frequent care, depending on your individual needs.
