The Support at Home Program is the new government-funded system that provides in-home care and services for older Australians. Getting started can seem daunting, but St Louis is here to make it simple for you. We’ve broken down the process into a few easy steps. We can even assist you at each step, think of us as your guide.
Whether you’re aging in place and need a bit of support with daily tasks, or you have increasing care needs, Support at Home can fund a range of services (personal care, nursing, cleaning, meals, transport, and more). The first step is to get onto the program, which happens via My Aged Care, the government’s gateway to aged care services. Don’t worry, it’s straightforward, and we will help you through it.
