Aged Care | Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)
Entry level home care subsidised by the Australian Government
The Australian Government subsidises a range of aged care services in Australia through a mixture of programs. The Commonwealth Home Support Programme is just one of those programs, designed to help you stay at home for longer with support from home care providers.
Are you eligible?
The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) is an entry-level program, open to seniors over 65 years of age, or over 50 years for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders, who need:
- Low-level support, such as showering a few times a week or fortnightly housework, on a short term or ongoing basis
- High-level support for a short time, such as nursing care while recovering from surgery or because your regular carer is sick
If your needs are more complex or you need ongoing care, you might be eligible for a Home Care Package.
