What is the new Support at Home program?
The Australian Government, through the Department of Health and Aged Care are implementing the Support at Home program from 1 November (deferred from 1 July) 2025, in response to the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.
Support at Home will bring together current in-home aged care programs, ensuring a simpler and more equitable system for older people. It offers to improve access to services, equipment and home modifications to help older people remain healthy, active and socially connected to their community.

Support at Home Guide
There’s a lot to learn about the new Support at Home program.
From 1 November 2025, Support at Home will replace the existing Home Care Packages (HCP) Program and Short-Term Restorative Care (STRC) Programme. The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) will transition to the new program no earlier than 1 July 2027.
Support at Home will be enabled by a Single Assessment System, which uses a new Integrated Assessment Tool. This will simplify and improve access to aged care services for older people. Current in-home aged care programs will continue to operate as normal until they transition into the new program.
To better understand how it will all work, view or download the Australian Government Support at Home Guide which is a useful tool for older Australians, families and their carers via the button below.
Support at Home will deliver:
Single Assessment System (no ACAT or RAS)
Services grouped into 3 categories - clinical care, independence support and everyday living assistance
Clinical care services fully funded by government
Everyday living and independence support services will require user contributions
Quarterly Support at Home budgets instead of annual budget with HCP unspent funds rollover of $1,000 or 10% (whichever is greater)
Separate funding up to $15,000 for assistive technology and home modifications
Priority funding of $25,000 over 12 weeks for people within 3 months of end of life
