Support at Home is designed to help you keep living at home with coordinated supports matched to your assessed needs, including care planning and care management to support your independence. You have choice and flexibility in how, when and by whom your supports are delivered, with your rights to make informed decisions recognised under the new aged care law and its Statement of Rights.
