What is a Home Care Package (HCP)?
A Home Care Package (HCP) provides tailored support services to help older Australians live comfortably at home. Designed for those with more complex care needs, HCPs go beyond what the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) offers.
If you need coordinated assistance with everyday tasks or have more intensive care requirements, an HCP could be the right solution for you.
Who is eligible for a Home Care Package?
If you’re 65 years or older, or an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander aged 50 or over, and you’re finding it challenging to manage at home, you may be eligible for an HCP.
You’ll need an aged care assessment and may be required to contribute an income-tested care fee to DACS. This fee is calculated by Services Australia (visit myagedcare.gov.au for details). DACS can guide you through the process of obtaining a My Aged Care referral if needed.
