Support At Home and new Aged Care Act Transition Support 2024-2025

Overview

As part of the Australian Government’s reform of the aged care system, the Support at Home (SaH) program will replace the Home Care Packages Program (HCP) from 1 July 2025. HCP providers will require changes to their IT systems to meet new obligations for claiming payments for services delivered and reporting under the SaH program and the Aged Care Act 2024. To align the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) with the new Aged Care Act 2024, changes to CHSP reporting requirements will be implemented from 1 July 2025 to reflect new legislative requirements ahead of the CHSP transitioning into the SaH program no earlier than 1 July 2027. CHSP providers will require changes to their IT systems to meet their new CHSP reporting obligations. This grant opportunity will be open to HCP and CHSP providers, providing one-off funding of $10,000 in the 2024-25 financial year towards the cost of IT system upgrades to meet the obligations under SaH, the CHSP and the Aged Care Act 2024.
