Why This Guide Is Important

The Australian government has introduced the Support at Home program to replace the old Home Care Packages (HCP) system. This guide is essential because it breaks down the 2025/26 reforms into plain English, helping you understand new funding classifications, service price caps, and how to protect your current level of support during the transition.

Who is This Guide For?

  • Older Australians: For those currently receiving care or planning for the future who want to maintain their independence and stay in their own homes longer.
  • Families & Carers: For the sons, daughters, and loved ones who act as advocates and need clear, reliable information to navigate the My Aged Care system on behalf of a parent.
