There are two main types of government funding:
- The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) helps older Australians access entry-level support services to live independently and safely at home. If you’re having trouble with everyday tasks and feel that a little support could improve your health and wellbeing, CHSP could be right for you.
- Home care packages (HCP) are available to eligible people who have more complex needs that provided for by the CHSP. Vitalis can work with you to deliver services that fit your government-provided HCP budget.
You may be required to make a contribution to the cost of care by paying an Australian Government income-tested fee. Further information about contributions is available on the My Aged Care website.
