What is
Support at Home?
The Support at Home Program, which began on 1 November 2025, has replaced Home Care Package (HCP) Program. It is designed to provide tailored, flexible, and coordinated support so you can stay safely at home for as long as possible. Under this program, your care and services are aligned with your individual goals and needs, and you will receive funding through a classified level matched to your assessed support requirements.
Funding Levels
Once your eligibility is approved via My Aged Care and you are assigned a classification, you’ll receive a quarterly budget. Below is a table of indicative funding levels:

| Level 2 | $4,008.61 | $16,034.45 |
