✨ Big changes in home care support! ✨
From 1 November 2025, the new Support at Home Program replaced the old Home Care Packages (HCP) and Short-Term Restorative Care (STRC) models.
Here’s what it means for you:
✅ More annual funding available - the top tier increased from ~$61,440 to ~$78,000.
✅ More flexibility - quarterly budgets, carry-over allowed.
✅ Three support pathways:
- Assistive Tech & Modifications,
- Restorative Care (now 12 weeks), and
- End-of-Life support.
✅ Easier access to home-modification, mobility aids & allied health.
For our older clients, or their carers, or anyone moving from hospital back home, this is a key shift you’ll want to understand - and we’re here to make it smooth ❤
