The Australian Government is making changes to in-home aged care, but there’s no need to worry—Right at Home is here to guide you every step of the way. From 1 July 2025, the new Support at Home program will replace existing Home Care Packages (HCP) and Short-Term Restorative Care (STRC), aiming to make accessing care simpler and more flexible. While change can feel overwhelming, one thing remains the same: Right at Home’s commitment to your care and independence.

What You Need to Know About Support at Home

The Support at Home program is designed to make in-home aged care easier to access, more flexible, and better suited to individual needs. While details are still being finalised, the program will continue to support older Australians in living independently at home, just as Home Care Packages do now.

If you or your loved one already receives care, you don’t need to take any action—services will transition automatically, and your support will continue without interruption. For those new to in-home care, the process of accessing services may become even simpler.
