Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) 

Entry-level support to make everyday tasks easier. 

The CHSP provides basic help to keep you safe and independent at home. It’s designed for people who only need a little support. 

Examples of CHSP supports 

  • Domestic assistance (e.g. cleaning, laundry). 
  • Transport for shopping, appointments and social activities. 
  • Social support and wellbeing activities. 
  • In-home respite so carers can take a break. 

Who is eligible? 

  • People aged 65+ (50+ for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people), or 
  • People with specific needs, as assessed through My Aged Care.
