Carer Wellness at Home

We recognise that carers can often struggle to find time to access support for themselves. With this in mind we now provide an in-home program that will bring our service and support to you.

The Carer Wellness at Home Program is intended to support carers who may have difficulty accessing office-based services and who require assistance with:

service navigation
aged care information
aged care reform information
referral pathways
practical assistance
well-being support
community connection and/or
access to available support and services

Eligibility

For carers to access the Carer Wellness at Home Program, the person they care for must be:

65 years or over (for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders 50 years or over)
Has been assessed as eligible for Australian Government funded aged care services through My Aged Care
Is receiving Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) services, Support at Home services, or is awaiting commencement of approved aged care support
