UPDATED: The way people get assessed for home care has changed.

We've updated one of our most popular articles to ensure people know what to expect, how to access an assessment, what happens next and, most importantly, how long you have to wait.

When you start looking into home care support for yourself or someone you love, one question comes up quickly: What exactly is an aged care assessment?

So your parent's had a fall or a hospital stay. The big question is often:

"Do they need ongoing care, or just the right support to recover?"

The Restorative Care Pathway is a short-term Support at Home program designed to help older people regain strength, mobility and confidence, so they can keep doing as much for themselves as possible.

It’s goal-based, time-limited and focused on recovery – with physiotherapy, nursing and allied health support tailored to the individual, not locked into long-term care by default.

We’ve written a clear guide for families navigating this decision, including when restorative care might be the right option and what happens after the program ends.

Read the guide here

Not all care needs are ongoing. Sometimes, what’s really needed is the right support, at the right time, to help you get back on your feet.

Meet Marie 👋

Marie is one of our Care Services Managers and has been with Envigor pretty much since we opened our doors way back when.

Apart from being one of our most deeply experienced managers, Marie is also beloved in her community for her dedication to helping older people navigate the home care system - and they're always keen to chat with her over a cuppa.

We're so proud to have her as one of our long-standing and committed team members, and we feel quite privileged to have her knowledge guiding our local teams.

New year, new article 🙌

It seems more people are being approved for the Support at Home program given we've already had a lot of families and individuals asking about what to do next 👀

Read more about getting the care you need:

If you or someone you care for needs nursing support at home, it can feel hard to know where to start. Many people assume nursing care only happens in hospitals or residential aged care. But in Australia, a wide range of professional nursing services can be delivered safely at home.

If you, or an older friend or family member is feeling anxious, distressed or overwhelmed, it’s important to know that help is available, often at no cost.

Support options to be aware of:

🧠 Medicare Mental Health Centres
These centres provide free, walk-in mental health support with no referral needed. They offer a safe place to talk with qualified mental health professionals. Visit https://www.medicarementalhealth.gov.au/medicare-mental-health-centres

👩‍⚕️Talk to a GP
A GP is often a great first step. They can listen, provide reassurance and help connect your loved one with appropriate mental health or counselling support.

📞 Beyond Blue - 1300 22 4636
Free phone and online support for anxiety, depression and emotional wellbeing, available to older Australians and their families.

💡Support at Home funding

CHSP or Support at Home? 🤔

One of the most common questions we've had from older Queenslanders since the new system started is about the differences between the Commonwealth Health Support Programme and Support at Home program - the funding differences, the pros and cons, the diverse spelling of programme/program 😂

So we wrote about it in the simplest way possible to spell out which program is best for your needs.

If you’re receiving help under the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP), you probably know roughly what you pay each time your cleaner, carer or gardener visits.
