Which type of home care government funding are you seeking?
Home Care Packages vs Commonwealth Home Support Programme
There are two different types of government funding for home care.
Which are you looking for?
I am seeking a Home Care Package (HCP) provider.
I am seeking a Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) provider.
I’m unsure of what I need and would appreciate some advice!
Home Care Package
A Home Care Package is a government subsidy designed to help you live independently and safely at home. It provides funds to an approved Home Care Provider, such as Accent Home Care, who coordinates a package of services according to what you need.
Commonwealth Home Support Programme
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) is a lower level Government subsidy which provides both care in your home and social support, and is for people with low level care needs such as :
- Domestic Assistance
- Personal Care
- Community Nursing
- Social Support Group
If you’re able to manage, but need support with a few tasks at home, you might be eligible for CHSP.
