If you or someone you care for already gets help through a Home Care Package (HCP), please note that HCP service is changing.
The new Support at Home program will replace HCP from 1 November 2025. If you’re already receiving a Home Care Package, you will automatically move to this new program. You won’t need to do anything to switch over, and your current care will keep going smoothly.

The holiday season is a time for joy, relaxation, and spending quality time with loved ones. For seniors who depend on Home Care Packages, this time of year may also bring unique challenges, such as scheduling adjustments or increased demand for certain services.
The Australian government is making significant strides to enhance aged care, and recent updates to Home Care Packages (HCPs) bring exciting changes for older Australians.
