What is the Support at Home Programme?
The Support at Home Program is a government initiative that helps older Australians live independently by providing access to personalised home care services.
Government subsidies help cover the cost, with fees based on the services you choose and, in some cases, your financial situation.

Types of care subsidised by the government:
While Government subsidies help cover the cost of care, you may be asked to contribute to some services depending on your circumstances.
- Clinical care (like nursing) is fully funded by the government.
- Other services (like personal care, cleaning, and transport) may require a small client contribution based on your financial circumstances and service type

Getting started with aged care at home through the government can be confusing, we’re here to guide you every step of the way:
- Haven't organised a Support at Home assessment with My Aged Care?
- Currently on the waiting list to receive home care services and want to organise private services or get help from a volunteer while you wait?
- Received your confirmation letter and ready to set up your home care services plan?
- Already have a home care package and want to switch to CatholicCare Sydney?
