At Auspire Care, we know home isn’t just where you live. It’s where everything feels right. Where your routines make sense, where your memories are and where you’re still you.
From 1 November 2025, the Support at Home program replaced the Home Care Packages, as informed by the Australian Government. This may feel very overwhelming for a lot of families who want the right care for their loved ones. The good news is that we’re here to help you understand the newly replaced Support at Home program, walk through it and how you can live a better life with its help.
Support at Home means older Australians get care at home, built around what they need and how they actually live. What we care about is keeping you safe, supported and steady at home, with you still making the decisions that matter.
Support at Home is an Australian government-funded aged care program designed to help older people stay independent at home in their own comfort. It brings all the in-home aged care services into one system that’s simpler, more flexible, and actually makes sense.
Rather than fitting people into fixed packages, Support at Home provides services based on an aged care assessment. Support can increase, decrease, or change over time as your needs change.
At Auspire Care, Support at Home means:
Support at Home is available to:
People seek Support at Home for many reasons. Some need help after illness or hospital stays. Others need regular assistance as everyday tasks become harder. Many families simply want peace of mind knowing support is in place.
Eligibility and service levels are determined through an aged care assessment. Auspire Care supports you through this process, explaining what to expect and what your options are at every step.
Under the Support at Home program, services are grouped into clear categories. This helps you understand what support is available and how it can help you live your life better.
Everyday living support helps take the pressure off daily tasks that can become tiring or unsafe.
This may include:
This support helps keep your home comfortable and allows you to focus more on yourself.
Support may include:
We work at your pace and follow your routines, so care feels natural rather than intrusive.
For people with health needs, Support at Home can include clinical care delivered at home.
This may involve:
Receiving health care at home often reduces stress and provides reassurance to everyone involved with the individual.
Support at Home also includes short term pathways to meet specific needs at different stages of life.
Short term support focused on rebuilding strength, mobility and confidence after health-related issues.
Support to access equipment or home changes that improve safety and independence, such as mobility aids or bathroom modifications.
Additional support for people who choose to remain at home during advanced illness. We focus on comfort, dignity and emotional support for both the individual and their loved ones.
Growing older does not mean giving up your wishes. With the right support, home can remain a place of comfort and safety that you’ve always wished for.
At Auspire Care, our Support at Home services are built around real people and real lives. When you are ready, we are here to listen, guide, and support you in staying at home with confidence and dignity.
Support at Home funding is allocated based on what you need. Instead of daily amounts, you get funding in quarterly budgets, which makes it easier to plan your support ahead.
Some services are fully covered, while others might need a contribution from you, depending on your income and what kind of help you’re getting. We explain all the costs clearly at Auspire Care, so you always know exactly how your funding is being used and there are no surprises.
