There are several types of funding for in home aged care you can apply for, depending upon your needs.
The Australian Government provides aged care funding for Australians who are aged 65 years and over, an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander over 50 years old, or a person who is at risk of, or is experiencing homelessness and is over 50 years old.
You will need to apply for government aged care funding and once you’ve completed an assessment you will know which type of funding, you’re eligible to receive.
Funding options
The types of funding you may be eligible for include:
- Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP)
An entry level program that provides funding for basic home support services, including Personal Care, Domestic Assistance, Social Support, Home Maintenance and Repairs, Nursing, and Allied Health Services.
- Support at Home (SAH) program
The Support at Home Program (replaced the Home Care Package program in 2025) provides older Australians with greater access to funding for in home aged care services, products and equipment. It provides eight levels of ongoing funding to cater for low to high care needs and has three short term pathways: Restorative Care Pathway, End of Life Pathway and the Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) Scheme.
- Transition Care Program (TCP)
If you need temporary assistance to recover from a health event or to rebuild your independence, you may be eligible for TCP funding to help you recover your confidence and independence at home after a hospital stay for up to 12 weeks. You can also receive funding for Respite Services.
- Self funded (or Privately funded) home care
You can choose to self fund your aged care services for as long as you need. Private care suits people who may want to increase their level of care without an assessment, or if you are not eligible for government funding.
