What is Support at Home?

The Australian Government’s Support at Home programme replaces Home Care Packages (HCP) from July 2025, providing flexible, individualised funding for older Australians to access allied health and daily living support in their own homes.

Skilled Health’s specialist Occupational Therapists work within your Support at Home budget to design care that keeps older Australians doing what they love β€” for longer.

Support at Home Funding Categories

Funded under Support at Home

Occupational Therapy services are funded under clinical support. This means there is no participant contribution required for OT services, such as assessments or prescriptions, as they are deemed essential for maintaining independence.

Every home assessment is designed to identify risks and barriers, with practical, evidence-based recommendations that support safer movement and greater independence.

Not sure where to start? Contact our team β€” we’re happy to walk through the options with you.
