Frequently Asked Questions About Support at Home
My Help Services has provided general information regarding key questions below, but we advise that you contact the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing for any specific questions.
Support at Home is the Australian Government’s in-home aged care program. It commenced on 1 November 2025 and replaced the Home Care Packages Program and Short-Term Restorative Care Programme. It provides approved services, equipment and home modifications to help eligible older people remain safe and independent at home.
Eligibility is determined through the Australian Government’s aged care assessment process. My Help Services cannot determine eligibility or approve government funding. To begin the process, contact My Aged Care on 1800 200 422 or apply through the My Aged Care website.
Contact My Aged Care and request an aged care assessment. An assessor will discuss your circumstances, support needs and goals. After the assessment, you will receive a Notice of Decision explaining the outcome and a copy of your support plan.
You will receive a Notice of Decision and support plan outlining your assessment outcome. If approved, your documents will explain the services you may access. Funding allocation and commencement times depend on government processes and your priority category.
A referral code is a unique reference number you provide to your chosen provider. It allows the provider to access the relevant client record and support plan and begin discussing service arrangements. You can find your code in your My Aged Care account or assessment information.
Participant contributions are determined under Australian Government rules and can vary according to service category, financial circumstances and transitional arrangements. My Help Services will explain its prices and agreed charges before services commence. Contact My Aged Care or Services Australia for information about your personal contribution.
People who previously received a Home Care Package transitioned into Support at Home under government transition arrangements. Individual budgets, contributions and protections may differ. Review your Notice of Decision, support plan and My Aged Care information for details applying to your circumstances.
Participants can generally choose a suitable registered provider and may change providers. Before changing, review your existing service agreement, including notice requirements and outstanding charges. Confirm that the new provider can deliver your approved services before completing the change.
Tell your provider if your health, safety, living arrangements or support needs change. The provider can discuss whether adjustments are possible within your existing plan or whether a Support Plan Review should be requested. Government assessors determine changes to approved supports or classifications.
The Restorative Care Pathway provides short-term, intensive allied health or nursing support for eligible people who may benefit from maintaining or regaining function. Eligibility is determined through the Australian Government’s assessment process.
The End-of-Life Pathway provides additional short-term support for eligible older people who wish to remain at home near the end of life. Eligibility requires clinical information and government assessment. It complements state and territory palliative care services.
