Providing you the basic support you need to support you to stay living in your home.

 

What is Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP)?

The Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) is an entry level funding assistance program designed to help older Australians who require small amounts of support at home. It assists people who generally live and cope on their own while requiring some assistance.

What CHSP services can I receive? 

The CHSP services you may access include, but are not limited to:

Am I eligible?

To determine your CHSP funding eligibility for the Commonwealth Home Support Programme, you will need to be assessed by the Regional Assessment Services Team (RAS) or the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT).

If you think you need a higher level of support at home, you may require a Home Care Package.

How much will it cost me?
