At-Home Aged Care
From 1 November 2025, older people will be assessed for aged care services through the new Single Assessment System.
Understanding the New Support at Home program
Under the new Support at Home (SAH) Program, a defined service list will be introduced, categorising services into three key areas:
- Clinical
- Independance
- Everyday.
Each category outlines the types of services available and participant contributions where applicable.
Clinical services
Delivered by qualified or accredited health professionals, clinical services help participants maintain or regain functional and cognitive abilities.
- Nursing care
- Allied health and other therapeutic services
- Nutrition
- Care management
- Restorative care management.
Note: Clinical services are fully funded by the government, so participants will never have to pay out of pocket.
Independence services
These supports assist older people with daily activities and help them maintain independent living.
- Personal care
- Social support and community engagement
- Therapeutic services for independent living
- Respite
- Transport
- Assistive technology and home modifications.
Note: Participants are expected to contribute to the cost of independent services as these are not fully funded by the government.
Everyday living
These services help older people maintain a safe and comfortable home environment.
- Domestic assistance
- Home maintenance and repairs
- Meals.
Note: Participants are expected to contribute to the cost of everyday living services as these are not fully funded by the government. For a full list of services available under SAH, please refer to the Support at Home service list. 
The SAH program doesn’t commence until 1 November.
