Our approach focuses on high-quality care, promoting independence and supporting overall well being while helping you remain connected to your community.

Getting Started with the Commonwealth Home Support Programme
The commonwealth home support programme CHSP helps eligible older Australians access subsidised care through government funding. This makes it easier to receive home care without paying the full cost of support.
The process to get started is straightforward. After a My Aged Care assessment confirms your eligibility, we work with you to complete a care plan that outlines the type of support you need and how often our team visits will occur.
We can help you understand the details, including how much you may need to pay and whether there may be a wait period before services begin.
CHSP Services
Our CHSP services focus on practical support that improves daily living and overall wellbeing. These include domestic assistance such as cleaning, minor home maintenance, and help around the house so you can continue living safely.
We provide a range of CHSP services designed to support independence and social connection. These may include social support, individual visits, social support group activities, centre-based respite, and flexible respite to support both clients and their primary carers.
Some clients may also receive clinical support such as nursing care or allied health services where required to meet specific health needs.
Client contributions may apply to CHSP services. You can learn more about fees, payment options, and service cancellations in our Client Contribution Policy.
