Support at Home Program

What is Support at Home?

The Support at Home program represents a significant advancement in Australian aged care services. Specifically, it has been designed to help older Australians maintain their independence while living comfortably in their own homes. Moreover, the program offers comprehensive support that adapts to your changing needs over time.

Notably, this innovative program brings together previously separate care services into one streamlined system. As a matter of fact, this integration means better coordination, improved access to services, and more efficient use of your care budget. Therefore, you receive the support you need without unnecessary complexity.

Understanding Support at Home Costs

The Support at Home program includes co-contribution requirements for some services. However, clinical services remain free from co-contributions. Moreover, your contribution rates are determined by your income and assets assessment through Services Australia.

Importantly, if you were receiving Home Care Packages before 12 September 2024, you may be grandfathered into preferential rates. This means you'll pay the same or less than you would have under the previous system. Therefore, understanding your grandfathering status is essential.

Additionally, there are hardship provisions available for those experiencing financial difficulties. Consequently, if you're struggling with co-contributions, please speak with our care coordinators who can help you explore available support options.

Our Commitment to Cultural Diversity

At Glow Health Care Australia, Support at Home services are delivered with deep respect for cultural and linguistic diversity. Consequently, we ensure that your heritage, language, and traditions are honoured throughout your care experience.

Furthermore, our team includes healthcare professionals from diverse backgrounds who can communicate in multiple languages. Therefore, you can receive care in a language you're comfortable with, making the experience more meaningful and effective.

Moreover, we understand that cultural practices influence care preferences. As a result, we work closely with you and your family to incorporate cultural considerations into your care plan, ensuring that services align with your values and beliefs.

Transitioning to Support at Home

If you're currently receiving home care services, your transition to the Support at Home program will be carefully managed. Specifically, Glow Health Care Australia will ensure continuity of care throughout this change.

Essentially, your existing services will continue, and subsequently, we'll work with you to optimise your care under the new system. Additionally, you'll receive clear information about any changes to your funding, services, or co-contributions.

Ultimately, the transition to Support at Home is designed to improve your care experience. Therefore, you can expect enhanced service coordination, better access to equipment and home modifications, and more responsive care management.
