Am I eligible for CHSP funding?
To determine your funding eligibility for CHSP, you or a representative on your behalf (i.e. family member or carer) can visit the My Aged Care website to apply for an assessment online. The government provides a single assessment pathway to access all Government-funded in-home, and flexible care.
You can call us at 1300 782 896 and our friendly staff will be happy to guide you through the process.
How much will CHSP services cost me?
Client contribution fees may vary depending on your personal circumstances and the types of services you receive. These fees are designed to reflect your individual capacity to contribute and may differ from person to person and across regions. Before any services begin, we’ll clearly explain any fees that may apply and work with you to ensure you receive the highest level of care and support available.
If you’re experiencing financial hardship, you may be able to reduce or waive your contribution. Learn more by viewing the policies below.
Already on the Commonwealth Home Support Program?
You may be required to contribute to the cost of your care and this depends on your income and the types or number of services you need. We will advise you of the contributions you might need to pay prior to the start of any service and work closely with you to maximise the care that you will receive.
