Under Support at Home, you can receive services and support in your last three months of life through the End of Life Pathway.
You can access up to $25,000 in funding over 12 weeks, to fund additional in home aged care services like Personal Care and Nursing Services, or to pay for access assistive technology through the AT-HM scheme, like adjustable beds.
Your doctors will work with your Care Partner to ensure your services best support you and your family at this time.
We provide End of Life Care in all states and the Australia Capital Territory. We also provide Palliative Care through state funded programs in Western Australia and South Australia.
Eligibility
You may be eligible for End of Life care if you have Support at Home funding and meet additional criteria like having an estimated life expectancy of three months or less and being unable to do everyday tasks.
If you do not have Support at Home funding you can also ask your General Practitioner (GP), Specialist or Nurse Practitioner for a fast tracked referral. You can apply for an assessment on the My Aged Care website.
You will not be able to use any of your ongoing Support at Home funding while receiving End of Life care. Talk to our team and we can help you work out the best funding options for the care and support you need.
Contributing to your care
End of Life services can include clinical, independence and everyday living services. Under Support at Home, any clinical services you receive are fully funded by the Australian Government. See more information on contributions.
