In summary:
Under the new Support at Home (SAH) Program, a defined service list will be introduced, categorising services into three key areas:
Each category outlines the types of services available and participant contributions where applicable.
Delivered by qualified or accredited health professionals, clinical services help participants maintain or regain functional and cognitive abilities.
Note: Clinical services are fully funded by the government, so participants will never have to pay out of pocket.
These supports assist older people with daily activities and help them maintain independent living.
Note: Participants are expected to contribute to the cost of independent services as these are not fully funded by the government.
These services help older people maintain a safe and comfortable home environment.
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.
