My Aged Care – Support at Home (Replacing Home Care Packages from 1 November 2025 )

Support at Home program

The new Support at Home program replaced the Home Care Packages Program and Short-Term Restorative Care Program on 1 November 2025. The Commonwealth Home Support Program will transition to the new program no earlier than 1 July 2027.

Funding for existing My Aged Care home care package (HCP) transferred automatically to the new program on 1 November 2025. 

Support at Home is a program to help older people remain at home as they age by delivering coordinated care and services to meet their assessed ageing related care needs with

• 8 classifications to fund ongoing services
• 3 short-term pathways to fund assistive technology and home modifications, restorative care and end-of-life care
• 4 transitioned Home Care Package classifications to provide an equivalent level of funding for those who transitioned to Support at Home
• participant contributions set by government
