What is Support at Home?
Support at Home is the Australian Government’s program for older people who need help to keep living at home. It replaced Home Care Packages in November 2025. Each participant has a budget that pays for an agreed set of services, managed with their provider and care partner.
What it costs you
Physiotherapy, occupational therapy and other allied health therapies are clinical supports. Clinical supports are fully funded by the government, so you pay no contribution towards them, whatever your income or pension status.
Some other services, such as remedial massage, fall into the independence category, where a contribution applies based on your income and assets. We will tell you before any session if a contribution applies.
How we can help
Falls prevention and balance. Assessment, strength and balance programs, and advice on making your home safer.
Mobility and exercise programs. Getting in and out of chairs and bed, walking, stairs and staying active.
Pain management. Arthritis, back pain and persistent pain.
Respiratory management. Breathing exercises and airway clearance.
Assistive technology assessments. Walking frames, shower chairs, bed rails and other equipment, prescribed to fit you and your home.
Home modification assessments. Rails, ramps and bathroom changes, assessed by an occupational therapist.
Foot care. Podiatry for nail care, diabetes foot checks and foot pain.
Wellbeing. Psychology support for adjusting to health changes, grief, low mood or worry.
